When some villagers are sick, you may bring a child to heal them. At the beginning, he refuses but if you insist he is able to heal and to gain some skills and when you have an epidemic, that child may become "apprentice doctor" (and so adept at 14 years old)!
Eh! No! Doing laundry doesn't give any point! And it's a pity when you see how many times they do that!!
