Today in Boston I received 7 pounds from my boss and I was filled with joy!I kept thanking him and thanking him but then the door swung open and a tax collector stepped in. My heart froze and I held my breath because I have heard that the tax collectors were rude and nasty to other colonists and it turns out that it was true because the first thing he said was "Hand over your money you disgusting rats." The first thing I did was say "You have no reason to come into my masters house and!" But before I could not say anything else because my master said "Be quiet Sam he does have the authority to come in here now go back to your room!" So I did go to my room but I tried to listen to the conversation but I couldn't hear anything they said when I came out he was gone.My master told me that he convinced the tax collector to leave but I have no idea how and he did not tell me how. But other people were not so fortunate and almost everyone else got there money taken away.I felt relieved but sad,I felt happy that my money was not taken but sad for the peoples money that was taken.Hope that we are this lucky the next time the tax collector pays us a visit.
