No Food, No Job
I am an adult. I'm not a kid. I'm a grown-up. I need some money. I have no
food. I am hungry. I am not thirsty, because water is everywhere. But water
has no taste. I want to drink a soda. I want to drink milk. I want to drink
coffee. I want to work. Nobody will hire me. Nobody is hiring anybody.
Companies are firing people. Companies are laying off people. Everyone is
looking for a job. I cannot pay my rent. I will have to live in my car. I don't
want to live in my car. My car has no bed. Everyone should live in a house or
an apartment. Many people don't have a car. They live on the street. A street
has no bed. Nobody should live on the street. I don't know what to do. I don't
know where to go. Maybe I will go to church. Maybe I will find help there.

14. New Shoes


She is young. Her shoes are old. She wears them to work. She goes to work
five days a week. She loves her work. She is a waitress. She works at a
restaurant. The restaurant is near her home. She walks to the restaurant.
She stands up all day long. She is young and strong. But her shoes are not.
They are old. She saw an ad in the paper. All shoes were on sale at the shoe
store. She walked into the store. She looked around. She saw some black
shoes. They looked good. She tried them on. They were very comfortable.
They felt good. They were only $25. She paid cash. She wore them home.
She felt good. She was ready for work the next day.

15, No Friends for Me


I am lonely. I am always by myself. I meet people every day. I smile at them. I
say hello. I am nice to them. I want to have a friend. But I have no friends.
What is wrong with me? I am polite. I am friendly. I am nice. I am kind. Why
don't people like me? All I want is one friend. Everyone has one friend. I
always see people with their friends. They laugh with each other. They have
fun with each other. They do things with each other. What about me? I am by
myself. I watch TV by myself. I go to movies by myself. I go to restaurants by
myself. I go to the park by myself. I told my mother that I am lonely. She said
it is my fault. "Why?" I asked. She said, "Because you never ask anyone to be
with you." My mom is right. I never ask people to be with me. I am afraid
they will say no.
