"How do you think I first got them to help out at the inn. They used to fight over the easier things so they didn't have to do as much. Now they share all the tasks." Mali laughed, not that any where all that hard but the boys always would love climbing the trees to pick the apples more then the other chores.

"You're a blessing, Mali. I don't know what we'd do without you."

"And if you want them to do it faster, make one of the first chores a reward for later. I often make them pick the apples first because it not only burns some of that endless energy the have but give me time to make the desserts for the inn. In which the boys get pieces if all their tasks are done in a reasonable time."

"Don't you hate it when your friends know you this well?" Mali teased.

"Good, so does this mean I have to share my wisdom with your younger siblings so you don't take on all the chores as soon as I'm out of sight?"

"I suppose you should," she laughed quietly.

"So promise to cut back just a little for now? Since I know sharing the chores is a big step for you." Mali grinned, taking the bit out of her words.

"Good, now enjoy your tea before one of your siblings figured out we're still around."
