Un unusual experience in my childhood.
- I always appreciate small gifts of money.
- When I was a little boy, my Mum and Dad, especially some special festivals each month, provided a regular supply of pocket money.
- Uncles and aunts were often a resource of extra income.
- With me, small sums of money could not be gone a long way.
- I would rather pay fifty pence pieces to exchange for sweets than rattle for months inside money boxes.
- Only a few thrifty children, in particular between the age of five and seven years old, managed to fill up a money box.
- For most of them, fifty pence is a small price to pay for a nice big bar of chocolate.
- I have a small box and it is always empty.
- My aunts has given few of the fifty pence pieces and pound coins have found their way there.
- The age of my ten years old that one day, i have an unforgotten experience.
- My aunt gave me fifty pence and advised me to save it.
- Instead I decided to buy sweet.
- On my way to the sweet shop, i dropped my fifty pence and it bounced along the pavement and then disappeared down a drain.
- Meanwhile, eventually I had tried my best, taking off my jacket, rolling up my sleeves and pushing my right arm through the drain cover, could not find my fifty pence piece anywhere.
- What is more, i could not get my arm out.
- Soon afterward a crowd of people gathered round me and a lady kindly rubbed my arm with soap and butter although I was firmly stuck.
- The fire brigade was called and two fire fighter freed me using a type of grease.
- It was an amazing oil i have ever seen.
- My aunt said that it was fifty pence worth of trouble.
- I was not too upset by my experience because of the lady who owns sweet shop heard about my troubles and lately rewarded me large box chocolates.
