-Dear, I'm sorry but you need to find a job –Marie said to her daughter Ashley. Both of them were in the hospital where Marie was staying because she had been really sick for a year.
Ashley and her mother were running out of money, so now she would have to be responsible getting
When Ashely arrived at her house, tired of taking care of her mother, she decided to see the blog where people used to offer jobs. She was reading and she found different jobs. The first one she saw was one in wich the person who was interested in the job had to be a teacher of maths in a high shcool, but she refused it because she wasn't good at that. The second was a woman who asked for someone to clean her house. That interested her a lot, so she called the woman. She called three times but nobody answered. She continued reading the blog. The last add that she saw was a man who was looking for someone to take care a child. That interested her too so she used her pone again. There someone answered, it was the voice of a man.
Ashley talked to the man Arthur. He asked her some questions. He asked her if she had worked before and she said: 'No'. But she could convince him to give her a chance to show him she would do her best.
The job was just for three months.
The day after she went to her new job by car.
When she was driving she got lost in her thoughts...how fast the man had given her the job. Suddenly she started thinking that she had to be thankful for the job.
She got out of the car and knocked on the door. A man of almost 40 years old invited her to enter.
-Arthur is coming, you should be Ashley. I am Gale, the key chain-
-Yes, that's me. Nice to meet you, Gale.
After that little conversation, Arthur showed her the house. It had got four little bedrooms, one bathroom, a kitchen and a diningroom and an attic. Though it was old it was in good conditions.
-So..that's everything. Arthur has arrived. You can wait for him here.
-Ok, thank you. –Ashley nodded.
She sat on a sofá and she picked up a photograph where she saw a man who should be Arthur with a woman and a boy. She thought that they might be the mother and the son.
Suddenly a voice interrumped the silence in wich Ashley was.
-That is Mark, my son –it was a man- I am Arthur, how are you?
Ashley put down the photograph and smiled at him.
-Fine, thank you. I am Ashely. Nice to meet you. –And Arthur gave her the smile back.
-Ok...Mark! Come here, I'm going to introduce you to someone.
And Mark appeared. He was a thin boy with brown hair and blue eyes, and he was sitting on a wheelchair. That surprised Ashley a bit, so Mark give her some instructions to take care of him well. After that she started working.
-So...did you eat Mark?
-Yes –he smiled at her.
-OK. And what do you usually do at this time? –It was 10 p.m. and at 12 o clock his father arrived from his work.
-Well I just go to sleep and that's all.
-OK. Let's go to sleep boy!
It was difficult to take him upstairs with the wheelchair.
