She was sent to the hospital and needed someone to look after her. They had several servants, but none of
them could do the job. One of his friends brought a girl to Mr. Green. She looked beautiful and strong.
Mr. Green liked her at once, and wanted to hire her.

some questions. If she answers them well, you can hire her."
Mr. Green agreed and called the girl in again. He asked, "What would you be a servant for?"
"My mother is often ill," the girl said, crying, "I have to stop studying and find work. I want to get some
money to buy some medicine for her."
"Where's your father, then?"
"He died last year." answered the girl.
