Read the following selection carefully. Do NOT translate, but answer the questions in ENGLISH.
YOU WILL BE PENALIZED FOR DISREGARDING THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
Sherma, nuestra empleada doméstica, es sumamente distraída e incompetente para hacer los quehaceres domésticos. He aquí unos ejemplos de su incompetencia:
Cuando Sherma termina de planchar, mi mamá siempre necesita asegurarse que la plancha esté apagada ya que Sherma a veces olvida hacerlo. Mi pobre papá ha tenido que comprar calcetines y camisas para reemplazar los que Sherma ha quemado con la plancha o ha destruido con cloro.
Tuvimos que cambiar las cerraduras de la casa tres veces porque Sherma perdió las llaves de la puerta principal. La semana pasada perdió las llaves otra vez. Mi papá le dijo a Sherma que fuera a buscarlas en vez de venir a trabajar. Sherma nunca encontró las llaves pero le sugirió a mi padre que le pagara por ese día porque estaba buscándolas. Imagínense lo estupefacto que quedó mi padre ante esa exigencia.
¿Por qué seguimos con una mujer tan incompetente? Es muy simple: las personas honestas no se encuentran muy fácilmente y a pesar de los defectos de Sherma podemos contar con su honestidad.
