The New House

When Jack was little he lived on the streets and he would always dream to live in a house even if it was a small one or a big one. One day when Jack was sleeping a man walked up to him and patted Jack on the back to wake him up. Jack looked up and said hello to the man. Then the man said that he had some food and water if Jack wanted some. Jack said yes and took it from the man. The day after, Jack decided to try getting a job. Then he went to a store called Sobeys and asked if he could work there for a bit because he had no money. The store owner said he could but he would start in three days. Three days later Jack came back and started working. The store owner told Jack that he would get paid 1000$ dollars every two weeks. Three months later Jack had collected enough money to buy an apartment close to his job. After he bought the apartment he bought some food, water and toilet paper. The next day Jack came to work and said to the store owner that he would get a new job. The store owner said yes and wished him good luck. A few days later Jack had decided to work at a construction site. Then he went to the construction site and started working on a new building. After a year of working he decided to buy a house. Then he bought one that was new but small but didn't care. Because all he wished was to live in a house.
