The question is asked from the novel Swami and Friends which is written by the novelist R. K. Narayan. In the novel, Swaminathan was apprehensive of Mondays.

As he gets only two days Saturday and Sunday to relax and enjoy, he feels Monday as the most unpleasant day. The sentence in the lesson

suggests that it was a five-day week in Swaminathan's school is "After the delicious freedom of Saturday and Sunday, it was difficult to get into the Monday mood of work and discipline."
