The next chapter is called "Spring Ends and Play Begins." Summertime came and Jo and Meg got a vacation from work. They wanted to play and do no work at all. They told the other girls, and all of them thought it would be great to do nothing at all for the whole summer. They told Marmee about their idea, and she said they should do it for a week as an experiment. During the week they got bored and they didn't like it at all. After they told Marmee they didn't like it, she told them "all play and no work is just as bad as all work and no play." This chapter taught them a good lesson to have balance between work and play. During summer vacation when I didn't do anything but play, I got bored too. Kids should have chores so they don't use up all their fun activities in one day.
