It was a lovely sunny and warm Friday in Boston but most important today was pay day!! I was very happy because I needed some money. My generous boss handed me 7 pence!! YAY!!! I was done for the day at work so I ran all the way home and I started counting the money. My boss was still at work so she didn't know that I was running around her house like a mad woman screaming "Money, Money, Money!" Then someone knocked on our door. The man outside said " HELLO OPEN UP I'M THE TAX COLLECTOR!" I knew it. I opened the door and I saw a big tall man staring down at me. "Oh um... well how are you today?" I said in a quiet voice. " No questions just give me your money!!"
"Well how much today?" I said.
"So one pent if you have glasses, two pence if you have anything around you wrist our neck, and one pent if the month of your birthday ends in ember!" said the tax collector.
I didn't have glasses and by birthday month didn't end in ember but I had a bracelet around my wrist. So with the seven pence in my hand I gave him two and closed the door. After all that excitement of getting some money it gets taken away by that stupid British tax collector.
