Jobs
Biggest Job of All
Read the paragraph and answer this question: What is a really big job of Mummy?
Coco: Mummy, when I'm all grown up, I want to have a really big job.
Mummy: Maybe you'll take care of a baby, Coco?
Coco: No, Mummy. That's not what I mean. I mean a really, really big job.
Mummy: Well, Coco dear, maybe you'll whitewash a big building.
Coco: I don't want to whitewash a big building. I'll get all white.
Mummy: Coco, you could be a teacher. That's a big and important job.

Coco: I don't want to be a teacher. Teachers have to read thick books.
Mummy: Would you like to be a doctor or a nurse, Coco?
Coco: No, Mummy. I don't like medicine and I don't like shots. Mummy, what's a really, really big job, the biggest job you know?

Mummy: Actually, Coco, the biggest job I know is taking care of your brother and you.
Coco: Mummy, are you sure?
Mummy: I'm sure, Coco. It's a really big and important job.

Coco: Then I'd like to be a mummy—a mummy like you. I love you mummy.
Mummy: Coco, I love you too. Good night. And may all your dreams come true.
Coco: Good night, Mummy.
