My 2013 class teleported back into Boston, 1768. My first couple weeks here were great! I got a job as an innkeeper and I live with my boss in his normal sized house. I have earned much money throughout the experience and I am proud of myself. 0ur bosses gave us money because it was payday. I earned six pounds. Then the tax collectors came and they said that there were new laws that would cost money for each law. The first law that King George the Third mad was that everyone who wears glasses would have to pay one pound, so luckily I don't have glasses. Then a really bad law that was really expensive was that everyone who wore a bracelet or necklace would have to pay two pounds. So I was super happy when I realized that only today, I was not wearing a bracelet or necklace. The next law, which I was really scared about, was that anyone who wrote with their left-hand, had to pay a pound. I was so overjoyed that this was the last law and I had not wasted any pounds. Then I thought that I was done, the tax collector would leave, and there would be no more laws. But then the tax collector got a letter from King George the Third, saying that he created a new law. I was so, so, so, so, so, so, upset. I did not want to risk losing my six pounds of money because today would have been the first day with no taxes. So, I listened to what the law was because if I complained then they would send me to prison. The third and final new law that King George the Third had made was that anyone who was born in a month ending with -ber, would pay one pound. Since, my birthday was in June I was probably the happiest girl in the world for that moment. The tax collector left and I sat there with my original six pounds left. I was so worried that after I had worked so hard for that money it would be taken away from me. But now that I have all of my original money, I feel amazing. Though, I do feel very badly for the people who did get their money taken away. But I know those people from my 2013 classroom that we teleported from to here, and I definitely know that they will earn more.
