Like every Sunday, I had planned to cozy up in my bean bag and spend the Sunday afternoon making some good lunch for myself and watching television. I had just started to enjoy my holiday and finished planning what I could make myself for lunch, when my door bell rang. I wondered who it could be on a Sunday afternoon. My mind ran through a quick list of the possibilities that could probably be at the door. I had to find out anyways, I opened the door. To my surprise, there were two girls and a boy.
I looked at them with a blank expression. I wondered if I knew them. I didn’t. They were not surprised to have me look at them like that. It seemed like they were expecting it. They quickly introduced themselves to me. They needed to earn some money as a part of their “secret” project, I was told. They said they would do anything from cleaning the utensils to sweeping the floor. I was zapped. I dint know what to tell them. They looked like kids from well to do families. I enquired more about their whereabouts and what exactly were they supposed to do. They told me they had to earn about $5 by 4pm. It was 1.15pm at that time. It sounded interesting and I thought of helping them out. The first idea that came to my mind was to ask them to cook my lunch for me, but as I enjoyed cooking, I did not feel like asking them to do that. The expressions on their faces did not allow me to turn them down. I asked them to come after an hour so that I could finish off with my lunch and some other chores. In the mean while, I advised them to look else where for some work.
They left and they left me thinking as to what I could do for them. I got a call on the intercom exactly after an hour. Those guys were back calling to find out if I could still help them. I invited them home and gave them four tasks out of which they could finish only two. They were asked to write a review on any recent English movie and the other one was to write this blog post. This is one of the works done by them.
Wish all of them best of luck for their future endeavors.
To be honest, even I would like to know more about their “Secret” project.. Only they can throw some light. In the meantime we can only make intelligent guesses
