阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ethan’s mother had asked him to wash his plate and put it in the dishwasher, but Ethan refused,
complaining that he was not her slave and demanding payment for doing chores around the house.
Though his mother was furious, his father calmly agreed to Ethan’s request, saying they would start the
next day. Overjoyed, Ethan left feeling on top of the world, while his mother turned to his father, upset
that he had given in to Ethan’s disrespectful and greedy behavior. His father reassured her, explaining that
they were going to teach Ethan a lesson.
The next day, Ethan came home starving after football practice and asked his mother what was for
dinner. When she told him they were having turkey pot-pie with sweet potatoes and peas, Ethan was
excited—until his father informed him that since he would be earning his own money, he would have to
pay his mother for cooking for him. Ethan refused, insisting he would not pay her, so his mother told him
he would have to order takeaway with his own savings. Angry and upset, Ethan stormed upstairs and
ordered a pizza that cost him $15, realizing he would have to work three whole days just to afford it.
Ethan faced more unexpected costs soon after. When he mentioned that his football coach required
new team jerseys, which would cost $69.99, his father told him that now that he was earning money, he
would have to pay for his own expenses. Ethan was stunned, having never imagined that his demand for
payment for chores would mean covering all his own costs. When he asked his father for a ride to school
because he was running late, his father agreed but told him it would cost $5.50. To make matters worse,
his mother sweetly reminded him that he also owed $12.50 for having his clothes washed and ironed. By
the time Ethan walked to school, already late, he had learned a harsh lesson about the true cost of every
service he had once taken for granted.

That night, Ethan came down at dinnertime looking upset.
