Painting the wall

Rita's parents surprise her with a room painting gift but why is 10-year-old Jithan working along with his father?
“Daddy, Mummy, do you have a gift for me this year?” asked Rita.
“Of course! We have got you a colourful gift,” said her father.
Her mother brought out a few catalogues to show her. “It’s been quite some time since your room was painted,” she said. “So we decided to call Ramu to get the job done. Do you want to choose the colour?”
“Yes!” Excited, Rita jumped up and began to browse the catalogues, as her father called Ramu to begin work the next day.
In the morning, Ramu arrived with his 10-year-old son Jithan.
“Why have you brought the boy?” asked Rita’s father.
“Sir, I want my son to learn the work. I have to pay my assistants so much that I have pulled him out of school and take him with me as my helper,” Ramu replied.
