Two Worlds. What a day!

It was a beautiful Wednesday morning. I was hanging around in my neighbourhood having nothing to do and nowhere to go. I was bored as always, even Chuck, my buddy, had nothing to say. Suddenly a fancy car pulled over next to the building where Rosie and her mother lived. I glanced into the car; there were two persons – a man and woman. Nevertheless, the car was most important for me. It was a van with nice wheel covers worth at least 10 pound each. At that moment I saw the man and woman leaving the car, her with some papers and him with a big bag and some cables. It was really nice of them to leave the car alone in my neighbourhood, and none of the other, older guys around to take away my luck. They were heading towards Rosie’s building. Suddenly the man stopped and turned round. He approached us and asked to keep an eye on his car. He gave us 20 pounds for that! What a dumbhead! He gave the money before the job was done. And our job was to take the wheel covers off the van and sell them for a good price. As soon as they disappeared in Rosie’s building we jumped onto the car. It was a piece of cake to lift the covers. There was that beautiful smell the woman must have left.
