[00:03.034] Chapter 2 At home
[00:05.771] 'Hi, Dad. Your supper is in the kitchen.'
[00:09.098] John is sixteen-year-old daughter, Christine, was sitting at the table doing her homework.
[00:17.164] His son Andrew, who was thirteen, was watching television.
[00:23.323] 'Thanks, Christine,'John said.'I am sorry I am late. Is everything OK?'
[00:32.556] 'Fine, thanks.'Christine gave him a quick smile, then continued with her work.
[00:41.378] John got his food from the kitchen.
[00:46.042] Fried fish and chips.
[00:49.002] The food was dry and didn't taste very good.
[00:53.316] But he didn't say anything about that.
[00:57.152] John was not a good cook himself and his children were no better.
[01:03.641] His wife had been a good cook, he remembered.
[01:09.104] John tried to eat the terrible supper and looked around the small, miserable flat.
[01:18.243] The furniture was twenty years old, the wallpaper and carpets were cheap and dirty.
[01:28.313] The rooms were all small, and he could see no trees or gardens from the windows just the lights from hundreds of other flats.
[01:40.361] And there were books, clothes, and newspapers on the floor.
[01:47.154] Once, when his wife had been alive, he had had a fine house.
[01:54.060] A beautiful big house in the country, with a large garden.
[02:00.354] They had had lots of new furniture, two cars, expensive holidays everything they needed.
[02:10.799] He had had a good job;they hadn't needed to think about money.
[02:17.248] And then he had started the boat-building company, and his luck had ended.
[02:24.464] When Rachel had died, John had been terribly unhappy much too unhappy to think about business.
[02:34.411] A few months later his company had closed, and he had lost all his money.
[02:42.097] John had had to sell his beautiful house in the country, and move to this miserable flat.
[02:50.395] And for the last two years, he hadn't had a job at all.
[02:56.050] He was a poor man, and an unlucky one, too.
[03:01.764] He had tried for lots of jobs, and got none of them.
[03:07.085] There were too many bright young biologists.
[03:11.795] But now that was all going to change.
[03:16.882] He looked at his daughter and smiled.
[03:20.482] 'Did you have a good day at school, Christine?'he asked her.
[03:27.427] 'Oh, all right, I suppose,'she said.
[03:30.626] She didn't look very happy.
[03:32.938] 'I've got a letter for you.'
[03:35.578] She pushed the letter across the table, and he opened it.
[03:41.154] It was from her school.
[03:44.738] One of the teachers was taking the children on a skiing holiday to the mountains in Switzerland.
[03:53.105] It cost £400 for ten days.
[03:56.892] Parents who wanted their children to go had to send the money to the school before February 25th.
[04:05.930] John is smile grew bigger.
[04:09.343] 'Do you want to go on this holiday, Christine?'he asked.
[04:15.145] She looked at him strangely.
[04:19.316] 'Of course I do, Dad,'she said. 'But I can't, can I? We haven't got £400.'
[04:28.399] 'No, I suppose not. 'He looked at her carefully through his thick glasses.
[04:37.848] She was a clever, strong girl good at her schoolwork, good at sports.
[04:48.333] But she had never been skiing;John hadn't had enough money.
[04:52.490] 'Are your friends going?'he asked her.
[04:55.978] 'Some of them, yes. Miranda, Jane, Nigel, the rich ones, you know.
[05:03.629] But they often go skiing; it's easy for them.
[05:08.828] I know I can't go, Dad. Throw the letter away.'
[05:14.042] John looked at her, and felt his heart beating quickly.
[05:19.328] 'No, don't do that, Christine,'he said. 'Perhaps you can go, if you want to. Why not?'
[05:29.639] Christine laughed.
[05:34.834] 'What is happened, Dad? Have you robbed a bank or something?'
[05:39.818] John stood up.
[05:42.907] He went into the kitchen and got himself a drink.
[05:47.558] 'No,' he said, when he came back.
[05:50.754] 'But something interesting happened today.
[05:55.017] Put your homework away, Christine and turn that TV off, Andrew.
[06:02.848] I have got something to tell you.'
[06:05.193] 'Oh, not now, Dad!'said Andrew.
[06:10.082] 'This is an exciting story.'
[06:12.426] John smiled. 'I have got an exciting story, too, Andrew. Come and listen.'
[06:21.062] John Duncan's children lived in an old, untidy flat, they had no money, and they often ate awful food.
[06:33.105] But they could still talk to their father.
[06:36.707] So Andrew turned off the TV, and sat down in a big armchair beside his father and Christine.
[06:46.125] The story didn't sound very exciting at first.
[06:51.914] 'I went to a factory today,'John said.
[06:58.451] 'That paint factory by the river. No, wait, Andrew.
[07:02.874] Paint factories can be very exciting.
[07:06.256] They gave me a job there.
[07:10.595] I am going to have my own office, a big car, lots of money in fact, we are going to be rich!'
