Il the kids have decided to go to the Jain Center on a weekend to do a marathon clean-up. Rohit decides that he cannot go because he is reading an excellent book on behavior that he thought was only for grown-ups. In reading a book about behavior he forgot about his responsibilities after learning good behavior!

Tejal:
Rohit, what are you reading?
Rohit:
I am reading a Jain book about behavior, which I thought was written just for parents. But I think it was written just for me. This book is superb and impressive.
Come on Rohit! Let's go! I am ready.
I am not going. I will stay home.
(Nirav enters) We are supposed to clean our Jain Center today. The whole class is going to be there.

LEARNING RESPONSIBILITY
(In a louder, firmer tone of voice) Yeah, but I forgot about that and now that I am busy reading this book. I am going to keep reading this book, and I am not stopping until I finish it.
You need to help us. We need everybody there.
Someone else can do it, not me. I don't have that kind of time. I am busy reading this Jain book about behavior.
We should read and study about Jainism, but we should do our work too.
I am not going to help. I've decided to read the Jain book without taking a break. This is important to me. Let someone else do the work.
(Pleading) You are the best window cleaner in the whole class, and we need your help.
