The Hard Worker

A woman sits in the middle of her living room on the floor, in the lotus position. She is meditating. Around her, her children are screaming and fighting; the family dog is chasing the family cat which jumps up on the table and spills everything in its flight - milk flies everywhere, cereal, porcelain breaking, a spoon hits the baby in the face and it starts to scream ...

A tiny person dressed in a red cloak and hood enters the room, invisible to all the occupants. The fairy person climbs up on the woman's shoulders and tugs on her earlobe, whispers something. The woman opens her eyes. She puts the dog and the cat out, calls the children to help her clear up, soothes the baby.

Not much later, and we find the woman on her sofa, smiling at her baby, the cat curled up beside her; the children are playing happily and the dog is asleep in its basket.
