Speaker 1 (0:00) you Speaker 1 (0:05) One day, two kids named Artie and Miles were at their house. Now, they were extremely excited because they had been saving up their pocket money for a very long time and had finally bought a brand new remote control car. Now, they were just beginning to pull it out of the packet when they heard a voice behind them. Oh, that looks cool. What is that? They look around, but they could only see an open window. Who? Who said that, said Artie. Then a purple fuzzy creature poked his head in through the window. It is me, the Bim Bim. Bim Bim, said Artie. Uh, yes, it is me, yes. Have you not heard of me before? Uh, I don't think so, said Miles. Well, that is very confusing, because I thought that everybody knew the Bim Bim, because I am the best. Uh, okay, said Miles. What are you doing here? Well, I heard some noise of something unwrapping and I thought, that sounds like fun. I wonder what it is. And so I stuck my head in through your window and I have seen that brand new shiny car. I like it a lot. Okay, you can do the first turn and then I will take it home with me. What, Serati? You can't take it home with you. Why not? Because it's our remote control car. We have to save up for this for a long time. Well, how do I get a remote control car? Um, well, do you have any money? No, said Pimpin. Um, do you get pocket money, said Miles? No, said Pimpin. Well, you need to be able to get some money to be able to buy a remote control car. Well, how do I get money? Can I take your money? No, that's stealing, said Miles. Oh, okay. Well, how am I meant to get it? Well, you could get a job. A job, said Pimpin. What is a job? It's when you do work and you can get money for doing work. Oh, okay. Okay, what job are you giving me? We can't give you a job. Oh, well, how do I get a job? Well, I think you can, like, look in places that are advertising for jobs. Okay, like, where do we find that? Well, I think it used to be in the newspaper. Oh, I have a newspaper. Hang on. Pimpin pulled the newspaper out of his pocket and put it down on the ground. Okay, newspaper, please, may I have a job? Uh, that's not how it works, said Artie. Oh, said Pimpim. How does it work? Uh, you gotta read the section that has all the jobs in it. Uh, would you mind doing the reading for me? Uh, okay, said Artie. Uh, oh, here it is. So Artie went to begin to read the jobs that were available, but Pimpim noticed one with a picture. Oh, what is that one? It looks like it's got some kind of cup thing that looks happy. Uh, that's an ad for someone to come work at a bubble tea shop. Oh, okay, yes. That sounds like the job. How do I, okay, how do I do it? You got to call them and apply. Okay, okay, so here we go. Pimpin pulled out his phone. You give me the numbers. Okay, said Artie. So Artie read out the numbers and Pimpin pressed them into his phone. And the phone began to ring. Ring, ring, ring, ring. Hello, bubble tea shop. This is the bubble tea lady. Oh, hello, bubble tea lady. I have seen your ad for someone to come work there, and I have decided that, yes, I will do that job. Uh, what? I'll be there in five minutes. Uh, hang on, pardon? What are you saying? Okay, see you soon. Bye-bye. Beep. Pimp him hung up the phone. Okay, now we need to go to the bubble shop so that I can do the working and get money to get my own remote control car. Okay, Adi and Miles, can you come help me? Uh, hang on. We just need to check with our dad. So Arty and Miles went to their dad and asked if they could help Pimpim go get his very first job. And their dad said yes. So they all jumped in the car and drove down to the shopping center. When they got there, Pimpim raced inside. Where is the bubble tea shop? He started running around in circles. I cannot find it. Is it here? Is it here? Oh, is it over here? Okay, maybe. Oh, this looks like
