Sharon wanted to make some money. She was only 15, so she couldn't get a job at a store."What could I do?"she thought. "Oh, I could babysit (当临时保姆),"she called.
The woman was surprised at first, but really didn't seem against (反对) the idea. The woman said she'd call if she needed her.
She asked for a help, because she had to leave for an important meeting. Sharon happily agreed. She thought if all she had to do was successful once, the neighbor woman would call her again.
She was close to their age, so they saw her as a big sister. Sharon read books to Peter until he fell asleep. Michelle sang her favorite songs with Sharon while they did housework together. It was kind of fun.
She was very glad to see everything was OK, so she paid Sharon for her work and thanked her. Sharon felt very happy. It seemed like her neighbor would call her the next time. It was a nice job and a great way to make some money.
