【Fifty pence worth of trouble】
September 25, 2014
The angle of George
I always appreciate small gifts of money. When I was a little boy, my Mum and Dad, especially some special festivals each month, provided a regular supply of pocket money. Uncles and aunts were often a resource of extra income. With me, small sums of money could not be gone a long way. I would rather pay fifty pence pieces to exchange for sweets than rattle for months inside money boxes. Only a few thrifty children, in particular between the age of five and seven years old, managed to fill up a money box. For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate. I have a small box and it is always empty. My aunts has given few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins have found their way there. The age of my ten years old that one day, i have an unforgotten experience. My aunt gave me fifty pence and advised me to save it. Instead I decided to buy sweet. On my way to the sweet shop, i dropped my fifty pence and it bounced along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain. Meanwhile, eventually I had tried my best, taking off my jacket, rolling up my sleeves and pushing my right arm through the drain cover, could not find my fifty pence piece anywhere. What is more, i could not get my arm out. Soon afterward a crowd of people gathered round me and a lady kindly rubbed my arm with soap and butter although I was firmly stuck. The fire brigade was called and two fire fighter freed me using a type of grease. It was an amazing oil i have ever seen. My aunt said that it was fifty pence worth of trouble. I was not too upset by my experience because of the lady who owns sweet shop heard about my troubles and lately rewarded me large box chocolates.
