2. What is the story about?

The story is about two siblings, Conrad and his sister Sarah who has a single parent which is their mother Joan Walden who works for Hank Humberfloob. Joan's boss is a neat freak, so he asked Joan to prepare her house in perfect clean for the office party that will be held there. Conrad is a naughty kid who always make a huge mess to their house. As the party will be held at their house, Joan asked Conrad to behave just this once or she will get fired. But Conrad sort of refused and they had a little misunderstanding. Joan asked their neighbour, Mrs. Kwan to babysit them while she's going to work. Mrs. Kwan do nothing but sleep all the way during the babysit. 

Then come The Cat out of nowhere leading the kids to make up a huge mess to their house but right before that they have to sign a contract. Then the three of them The Cat, Conrad and Sarah make up a huge mess around the house. Cat brought Thing 1 and Thing 2 that said to help them clean up the house, but all they do is the opposite, which add up more mess. The Things are taken out of a crate, which is sort of a portal that connect Cat's world to the real world. Conrad who is a naughty boy stole the crab padlock that should be locking the crate, and now the crate is making their house as fantasy as Cat's world. 

The crab padlock then being carried away by their chihuahua, making them chasing him around the town. Their neighbour, Quinn who has heart for Joan and promise to bring Conrad to military school for his bad behaviour saw the kids messing around the town and asked Joan to come home and see everything, so that he can marry her while Conrad is sent to military school. 

Once Conrad and Sarah come back home, everything is too late as their house has been taken over by the "mother of all mess" that come out of the crate. Conrad regret and tell that it was all his fault that he took the padlock, while Sarah is blaming herself for not stopping his brother. They are mad with Cat who said everything is going to be fine but obviously it's not. 

Cat then come back and show them on the contract that there is nothing he can do if the siblings are doing bad things. But if they regret and wanted to make everything right again, The Cat can help them get out of the mess and make things normal again. So the work together with the help of The Things.

When Joan gets back home, she see everything is fine and thinks that Quinn is making up stories about her children. She refused to listen to Quinn and proud with Conrad and Sarah who are being very nice while she's gone.

We learn that we must admit our mistake and learn from it so it will never repeated again. It also teaches us to listen to our parents because they knows best for us. It also tells us to be positive, as every problem has it way out and we just have to find it and never give up. We also learned to love each other, either as a family or as friends because at the end of the day, we will never know who will be there if we having trouble in our life.
