It was Friday afternoon. After getting off the school bus, Laura ran into the house .
"How was school, Lara?" asked her mom.
"It was great, Mc. n. Labor Day (劳动节) is . I am excited that I will have no school next Monday!"
Laura was woken up early on Labor Day morning her dad. He said that in honor of(纪念)Labor Day, the family planned to do some cleaning. Laura couldn't believe it. She began to wonder this was just a bad dream.
"Laura, your breakfast is ready. We have many to do today. Let's get a move on, "said Laura's mom. Laura asked her parents, ""Are you serious about working today? Isn't Labor Day a holiday?"
"Yes, Laura, it is, "replied her dad. "But your mom and I thought working hard today would make you realize why Labor Day was in the beginning. "
Laura disliked the plan, she had no choice. First, she was asked to wash the breakfast dishes. After that, her dad told her to give their dog a bath. It was a hard task, which needed a lot of careful work. She began the work unhappily.
But things began to change as she was doing the chores. She found it was so with so many soap bubbles(泡泡) when she brushed the dog. Then it was yard work and she helped to pick up sticks. When she finished her chores, Laura felt happy to see the yard looked much than before.
Holidays are not necessarily for fun or rest. Doing something can also get special pleasure: Maybe this is the spirit of Labor Day.
