Mike is a small boy, and he hates soap and water. Three or four times every day his mother says to him. "Mike. your hands are very dirty again. Go and wash them." But Mike never really washes them well. He only puts his hands in the water for a few seconds and then takes them out.
      Mike's uncle and aunt live in another city. One day they come to stay with Mike's parents. They bring their small son, Ted, with them. Ted is one year younger than Mike, and he    doesn't like soap and water either.
     The boys sit with their parents for a few minutes, but then they go outside. When they are alone, Mike looks at Ted's hands and says proudly. My hands are dirtier than yours! "
     "Of course they are," Ted answers angrily. "You are one year older than I."
