"I've got a trouble, can you help me?" a 10-year-old boy asked the police after he dialed 110 in Jiaozuo city, Central China's Henan province, on Aug 5.

But it turned out that he had trouble doing his homework, according to Chengdu Business Daily.

The boy became anxious when he realized he had not done his homework during the summer holiday, with school about to start.

The police rushed to the boy's house, learning the truth and telling the boy that he should finish his homework by himself.

"They say go to the police when you have trouble, but you don't even do me the little favor," said the boy.
