This book is dedicated to all of the poor people in the world.

Once upon a time there was an 40 year old woodcutter who looked quite young on the outside, but was old and tired on the inside.


This young man was not lonely though. He had two children.The kids names were Ruby and Jack. Ruby and Jack loved there father very much and they lived in a very nice house, however...


The three of them still had no money. They got all of their food and water from the forest around them because they lived in the centre of the woods.

Ruby and Jack both got so fed up with the way that they had to go out into the woods for every single serving of food in there life.







It was the father's birthday. Early in the morning, before anybody had woken up, Ruby got up and picked special fruits for the party. For all of that day, Ruby felt like she would fall asleep in her chair.













When it was finally time to go to bed Ruby could not stand it any longer. She got out of bed and grabbed the phone. Then she ran to her dad and shouted at him "We need help. Call as many people as you need!'' she said handing him the phone.




The woodcutter was tired but he saw what his daughter meant. Then he took the phone from her hands. Nobody would take the job and just as the woodcutter was about to give up he heard a small voice.



''Hello'', said the small and faded sound that came over the phone "Hello?''said the woodcutter gently as he put the phone closer to his ear. ''I might be able to help'', the voice said. ''Really'' said the woodcutter who was now getting very exited and was walking around the room.

"Yes''said the voice after a few seconds of silence. ''WOW!''said the woodcutter in disbelief ''I will be right over!" said the voice smoothly then they both hung up.

It was finally morning and as the sun rose the woodcutter was already dashing through the house to tell his children a new discovery. ''That's amazing'' they both said together.


''When is she coming'' asked Jack looking very exited. ''I'd say any minute now'' said the man as they started making welcome posters out of wood and berry juice.









welcome



Just as they were finishing of the biggest poster they heard the door handle turn.
They ran to the door but as soon as the door opened they all knew that something was wrong.

As soon as the woman walked in, she dumped her hand bag on the table that Ruby had just cleaned and then she went straight to the bath room.



A few minutes later they found the lady there in the bath room washing her her hair under the tap ''I never caught your name" said the man."Mariam"she said back quickly.
















Then Mariam dried her hair with a cloth, pushed past the startled man and into the living room.

''Listen carefully'', the woodcutter said quietly to his children after they had shut the door behind him. ''I will give this Mariam three chances to look after you properly because I already don't trust her".



Then she took a magazine out of her hand bag on the table and started to read it. She did not notice the woodcutter and his two children walking into there bedroom.



"Okay?'' said the woodcutter. ''Okay" said the kids excitedly. Then they all walked out of the room. When they did they were surprised to see Mariam, smiling and holding a furry jumper in one hand and a large suitcase in the other.




The kids did not mind and went into there room to play."What is going on? "said the startled man.The lady put her things down and started to say "Look, know I haven't been the nicest to you so what about we do something nice like go on a holiday to the snow next month". The father looked very confused. "I would say yes if we could pay for all of that", said the father. "We can", said Mariam. "Just leave that to me!" she said as she walked out of the room.
The woodcutter went to tell his children the stunning news but Mariam stopped him and told him that they should both leave it to be a nice surprise.


"Good idea! "said the woodcutter with a sigh of relief. The lady smiled as she pushed the man back inside, sat him on his chair to draw then she walked out of the room and straight into Ruby and Jacks room. As soon as she did Mariam started bossing every body around. She told Ruby to get junk food and sweets and then she told Jack to turn on the TV. Then she lay down on on the couch and pretended to be sick if the father came in.
"Do you want some water?" said the worried woodcutter. "Yes please" said Mariam who was very good at acting. The man ran and rushed off to get her water.








Then Mariam immediately jumped of the couch and said said quietly to them "Look you nasty brats the only reason I am doing this is because your father promised that he would give me all of the money that he could get his hands on if I helped you kids out!"
"If you mention any of this to your father I will stay here forever so thats that!". Then she climbed back onto the couch just in time to see the father walking in with a glass of water.





"Here we go", he said, trying not to spill the water. "Thank you!", said the woman as she glared at the children.The father walked out of the room.








A month past and Mariam walked into the kids room and to told them that they were going on a big holiday. She said that it was prepared by there father so that they did not get suspicious.














She said that they were going somewhere very warm so they should definitely bring only singlets and very short sleeved T-shirts.

















The children were shocked. They gasped in disbelief. After a few minutes of silence past and then the children started packing.

"Job done" she thought to herself as she walked out of the room to check if he he had packed because the plane left in only an hour! He was all ready to go on an adventure. !




They rushed to the airport and got on the plane just in time for it to take off. On the plane they got yummy food and got to choose their own deserts.
