I’ve always wanted to paint my blue car a different colour, but what colour should it be? ”Hmmm” how bout white for a change. I went with white and then went to Bunnings to get the paint.

Once I got the paint I went home and sprayed the whole car white. I let the car to dry for a while but when I came back I saw that I had completely missed the bottom half of the car and got more on the road than anything! I tried to scrub the paint of the road with soap and water but the paint I used was so strong it was the boldest thing on the road. It made a big smudge and the smudge started to get bigger! I stopped scrubbing because it was just getting worse. It was so big it was 2 houses long and was spreading over to my neighbors house Rick. Rick is a new neighbor and i wouldn’t say his the nicest person I’ve ever met. He only wants his way and if he doesn’t get his way he can become across a bit intimidating.

The next thing I notice is Rick storming out of his house with what looked like a frown on his face. I started to speed walk to the front door of my house hoping he wouldn’t see me or tell me off about the paint mess I’d made outside. He started to talk to me.

”Oh hi Rick I started. Hi Cheryl, Now I was just wondering if I could borrow some lemons from your backyard said Rick?

I sighed in relief. I thought he was here to confront me about the mess I had made outside of his house.

I gave Rick the lemons he needed to make for his lemon meringue pie for the town festival on Friday, He was holding a food stall with different types of cakes.

Thanks Cheryl he said. I gave Rick a thumbs up and smiled your welcome.
