Every morning Wally sprang out of bed at six o'clock sharp, ate two carrots while he read the paper, washed the dishes, swept the floors, dusted the furniture, and watered the geranium. Then he sat down in his armchair and admired his tidy home. Every morning Mae slept late. She fixed herself two rolls with honey and a pot of hot chocolate. Then she talked on the phone for a bit. After that it was time for a nap. Will Wally and Mae ever become friends? The chances look slim! But wait...Here come Mae's brothers. Is help on the way?
