You look at Joe and then at your mon friends and then look up at Charlie and nod your head.
"We need coins!"
Did you mean to say that out loud because you're thinking about having to pay to ride <span class="mu-r">the train</span> to Cape Smelt? When you look back at Charlie, she's smiling at you!
"Doesn't everybody. I suppose you and Joe have been earning most of your money with mon fights." Charlie looks at Joe while he sleeps and then looks back at you. "Well, I suppose you're old enough to have <span class="mu-r">a job</span>."
What? Charlie thinks you should get <span class="mu-r">a job</span>? Do you know what kind of job you would want?
"A traveling nurse?"
Charlie is shaking her head! "You have to go to <span class="mu-r">school</span> to become a traveling nurse. It's not something anyone can do." She stands up and stacks all the dishes and bowls back on the cart. "I'll come by tomorrow evening and see how Joe is doing." Charlie looks at your mon friends sleeping on the other bed and whispers "Goodnight, Mashi."
You whisper back to Charlie!
"Goodnight, Charlie!"
After Charlie pushes the cart out of the bedroom she closes the door behind her. When you look around at Joe and Ramster and Tamounda and Lottatax it looks like everyone is pretty comfortable! It's probably because they're sleeping in <span class="mu-r">comfy beds</span> and not on the ground outside! You nudge Tamounda over and crawl under the blankets next to him and fall asleep right away!
When you wake up, Ramster is already awake and playing your video game with Tamounda and Lottatax watching him play!
[SFX: knock on door]
The door opens and another human woman looks into the bedroom and then pushes a cart with some food on it into the room! "Charlie said you two kids might be hungry."
Joe sits up in his bed and says "Thanks, we really appreciate it."
The human woman puts a tray on Joe's bed and puts some food on it and then looks at your mon friends and holds up <span class="mu-r">another box of crackers</span> and says "She said you might have some hungry mons as well."
"Ram-ram!"
"Tamounda!"
"Lottatax!"
After you all eat breakfast, you sit back down on the bed and watch Tamounda and Lottatax watch Ramster play the video game.
...
You're really bored! You can't help getting up and walking around the room and then you look out the window at all the humans below. You watch the humans some more and then see a mailman carrying <span class="mu-r">a package</span>.
What? You think that might be a good job for you? I think it might be a hard job because you don't know how to read!
>Go out and look for a job
>Stay here with Joe for now
