Jason and Amanda were trying to get their parents to adopt a dog.

They promised to feed it themselves, walk it, and care for it. In short,
they would be the dog's real owners. Their parents just needed to say
O.K.
All summer, the kids did chores without asking. They put away the
dishes, helped their parents in their store, and folded laundry without
complaining. In August, their parents came to them with an
announcement. "You two have proven that you can handle it, so we
have decided that we agree with you," their mother said. "Let's adopt a
dog!"

a theme of the story?
