THE MAN WHO DIDN’T WASH HIS DISHES
(after Phyllis Krasilovsky)
There once was a man who lived alone in a little house in
a small town. He always cooked his own dinner, cleaned the
house by himself and made his own bed.
One night he came home feeling very hungry, so he made a
big dinner. He ate too much and was very tired after fi nishing.
He decided to leave the dishes till the next night.
But the next night he was TWICE1 as hungry, so he
cooked TWICE as big of a dinner, and it took TWICE as long
to eat it, and he was TWICE as tired as he had been the day
before. As the days passed by, he got hungrier and more tired,
and there were so MANY dirty dishes that he started to pile
them on the table.
As soon as the table was full he started to put them on his
bookshelves. As soon as THEY were full, started piling them
on the fl oor for several days and soon he couldn’t get into his
house!
One night he looked in his cupboard and found out2 that
there wasn’t any clean dish there. Soon he used up all his
ashtrays3 and clean fl owerpots, and his sweets dishes, and
drank water from vases. He used up EVERYTHING, even the
pots he cooked his food in, and the frying pan, and the kettle,
and he didn’t know what to do! He was SO unhappy. His whole
house was full of dirty dishes, and dirty fl owerpots, and dirty
ashtrays, and dirty sweets dishes, and dirty pots, and a dirty
soap dish, and a dirty frying pan, and a dirty kettle. He couldn’t
fi nd his books or his clock, or even his BED any more! Hecouldn’t sit down to think because even his chairs were piled with
dishes, and he couldn’t fi nd the sink so he could wash them!
But THE RAIN STARTED! And the man got an idea. He
drove his big lorry around to the side of his house and piled all
the dishes, and all the vases, and all the ashtrays, and pots, and a
frying pan, and a kettle on it and drove the truck out into the rain.
The rain fell ON EVERYTHING and soon the dishes were
clean again. THE RAIN WASHED THEM! Then the man carried
everything back into the house again. He put the dishes into the
cupboard, the frying pan and the pots on the pot shelves, the ash
trays on the tables, the fl owerpots back where he found them, the
vases where the vases go, the kettle on the gas cooker, and the
soap dish in the bathroom. He was so tired after carrying
everything back and putting it away that he decided, “I’d better
always wash my dishes just as soon as I have fi nished my
dinner.” The next night when he came home, he cooked his
dinner, fi nished to eat it, washed the dishes and put them right
away. He did this every night after that, too. HE IS VERY
HAPPY NOW. He can fi nd his chairs, and he can fi nd his clock,
and he can fi nd his BED. It is easy for him to get into his house,
too, because there are no more dishes piled on the fl oor or
anywhere!
