MOM-Come on Jack! It’s time to sleep.
JACK-Mommy, it’s too early to sleep
MOM-Really honey. It’s not too early, it’s too late!
GRANDMOTHER-No pressure, maybe we can talk about that.
MOM-Okay, okay “No pressure rule twenty-two”

JACK-You see mommy? “Grandparents are always right.” Rule three”
MOM-Children must be respectful. ”Rule two”
GRANDMOTHER-Enough Jack, children should listen to their parents. “Rule one” It’s time to sleep.
JACK-But, but ..
GRANDMOTHER-I will tell you a story.
JACK-Aye, aye sir.
Then Jack went to his room and tidied up very quickly because when my mother sees my room dirty or messy, she doesn’t tell stories. “Rule fifteen” Tip, top everything was ready. My grandmother was coming to my door.
GRANDMOTHER-Knock. Knock. Can I come in?
JACK-Yes, yes. Grandma, come in.
My grandmother came in and started to tell a story.
GRANDMOTHER-One day, a poor family begged for money. A man came to them and took out something from his pocket. He gave it to Alice the youngest of the family. Alice walked happily to her family and they went to a Jeweler’s store and showed the item to the attendant. He made a quick research.
ASSISTANT-It’s a time travel object. If you promise to give me one thousand dollars, I can tell you, how it works.
ALICE-But we are poor. How can we pay it?
ASSISTANT-No problem. You go to the past and take some Ottoman coins. The coins are very precious. It would be enough for me.
ALICE-Okay.
She went to their box house. And told what she experienced and they went to the Ottoman time. There were too many houses and too many animals in the streets for people to feed.
ALICE-Okay we can take some money from this time and go to our time and sell it to museums.
EMILY-Okay, but how can we earn money?
ALICE-Of course by working. All of us need to work and earn some money.
GEORGE- I am the oldest in the family so I will find a job.
ALICE-We will work, too.
All of the family started to work. George worked in the kitchen near of the kitchen as he could cook very well. Emily worked as a cleaner. She did the ironing, washing up and cleaning the house. Adem worked with a painter. As he could draw very well. And Alice she worked as an actress as she could act roles very well.
At the end of the day they met and counted what they earned. They earned 5 gold coins of Ottoman money. It means 3 million dollars. Then they went to their time and gave their debt to the jewelry worker and sold the other coins to museums. They bought the most beautiful house in the world. It has got a very big garden and expensive furniture. Finally they had their own house and said:
“Home Home, Sweet Home.”
