studies. We (have) to sell the hotdogs from little trolleys in London's

Green Park. I (think) I would like the job because

the onions (smell) disgusting, the customers (be)

rude and we (often have) problems with the police. The

at us all the time. 'How many (you sell)

today?''You (not sell) enough!' One day, the

police (arrest) him and that (be) the end of the
