The painter  
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 cafe 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!
