My name’s Bill and I’m a painter. It can be a difficult job when the weather’s bad but I still like it.

Well, yesterday I went to paint a house for a woman called Mrs Hill but when I got to the house

there was no-one in. I decided to start painting because it was a big house and I had just two days

to finish it.

At about midday I stopped for lunch and went to a café round the corner. I asked for burger and

chips. That’s my favourite meal. But there were no burgers so I had fish and chips instead. Well, I

was eating my food when a woman phoned me. She said, ‘Where are you?’ and I answered, ‘I’m

having my lunch!’ I was surprised because she was very unfriendly and she didn’t say she liked my

painting.

At two o’clock I went back to the house but there was still no-one there! Then I saw a woman in

the garden of the house next door. She looked very angry so I said ‘What’s the matter?’. Her

answer made me feel terrible. She said ‘I’m waiting for a man to paint my house. He said he’d come

this morning but he hasn’t arrived yet.’ ‘What’s your name?’ I asked her. ‘Mrs Hill’ she said! I was

painting the wrong house! I picked up my paint and brushes and ran away!
