Emil was a popular Boy lived with his mom Mrs. Tischbein, in a small town called Neustadt . Mrs. Tischbein was working in a salon everyday and every night continuously to claim money for her son Emil because she wanted him to go to Berlin were his grandmother, his aunt and his cousin and Pony. "Berlin is a very crowded town there are some streets were as light at night as during the day, it's a very noisy place the streets are full of cars" said Mrs Wirth who was one of Mrs tischbein's coustmer! "Where there many foreign ones?" Emil asked quickly "I wouldn't know about that Mrs with turned with a shrug and a sudden sneeze caused by soap getting up her nose." Emil you'd better go get ready I've laid out your good suit in the bedroom and if you get dressed now we can have dinner as soon as I finish Mrs. Wirth's hair"said his mother....Mrs Tischbein went into the bedroom where she found Emil looking very dejected "I wonder who invented Sunday suits" he muttered "Why" she asked "if I know where he lived i would just go out an shoot him" replied Emil "dear dear what a hard life you have some kids in the street have just wished to have a Sunday suit" said Mrs Tischbein. Emil's mom gave him some instructions and she told him "Your uncle Robert will take you to the museum on Sunday. Mind you behave nicely. I don't want anyone saying you have no manners" "alright I promise " said Emil After dinner they went together into the front room, where Mrs Tischbein took a tin box out of the cupboard and counted the money in it. She shook her head and counted again. "Look Emil" she said "Here are seven pounds , five pond note and two one pounds. Give six pounds to grandma, tell her not to be cross because I haven't sent the money lately. Can you remember all that, the other pound is for you you'll need about ten shillings for your return far, so you must keep that for goodness sake don't lose it, where had you better put it I wonder?"
Emil considered the matter and then tucked the little packet away in the bottom of the inner pocket of his jacket
"I don't see how it could get out of there!!!" He said comfortably. "Well don't go telling people in train that you have such a lot of money on you because plenty of people would think their self millionaires if they have five pounds to spend" Emil's father was dead so his mom had to work to keep herself and him, she turned one of her rooms into a hairdressers shop spent her days trimming, washing and setting heads. "Goodness me, it's a quarter past one!" Mrs.Tischbein cried the train just leaves before two you know" "Come on then Mrs Tischbein" said Emil
