“So, this button is Play. No, that’s Stop!” I was explaining to Grandma how to use the new video. “Well, I must go now. I’ll come back tomorrow.” When I got home, I told Simon about Grandma. He said, “I myself explained it to Grandma three times, but she still didn’t understand.”

The next day I visited Grandma again. She was watching a movie. “How did you do that, Grandma?” I asked. “A nice young man next door helped me,” Grandma answered. “You don’t have to visit me everyday because I can ask the young man for help.” As I was leaving, I saw the young man next door. His hair was long, and his jeans were full of holes. Back home, I said to Simon, “I’m worried because the man may do bad things to Grandma.”

A few days later, I went back to Grandma’s. There were tulips on Grandma’s TV. She said proudly, “ The young man brought them for me.” I thought for a while and asked, “You don’t give him money, do you?” She said, “I gave him a few pence for helping me with the video. I’m going to give him a present if he gets a haircut. He wants a car!” “A car?” I said in surprise. “Why don’t you meet him? The young man will come at six to watch a movie,” Grandma said.

I ran home and told Simon about everything. “I can’t believe it. How can he get money for helping Grandma with the video? Easy money!” said Simon.

At six, Simon and I arrived at Grandma’s. “Come in and meet the young man, Daniel,” Grandma said, happily. There was a young man in front of the TV. He was in jeans and had short hair. His two front teeth were missing. He looked about seven. Grandma said, “Daniel lives with his dad, and I watch him while his dad is at work.”

At that instant, Daniel took out a cute red car from his pocket. Simon and I laughed and laughed. “It was only 50 pence at the store, and his dad pays me two pounds an hour for looking after him. EASY MONEY!” Grandma said.
