FOR LOVE   OR  MONEY.

*NEWTON OWNED A LITTLE SHOP IN A SMALL TOWN.

IT IS A  TOWN CALLED *HILLFIELD.

IT IS NOT FAR FROM LONDON .

HE LIKED THE SHOP.

THE WORK OF BUYING AND  SELLING.

 HE SELLS   ALL KINDS OF THINGS.

HIS FATHER OWNED THE SHOP BEFORE HIM.

THE NAME *NEWTON'S WAS ON  THE SHOP WINDOW.

HE HAD A SON CALLED *TOM.

"ONE DAY" HE THOUGHT .

*TOM WILL OWN THIS SHOP.

HE WILL MARRY .

AND HE WILL HAVE A SON.

THAT IS A GOOD THING.

THE NAME *NEWTON'S WILL STAY OVER THIS WINDOW.

FOR MANY YEARS.

ONE DAY.

A FRIEND  CALLED *DICK  CAME INTO THE SHOP .

HE WANTED TO BUY SOME THINGS.

"HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THE_MANOR_HOUSE " HE SAID.

*VICTOR WAS PUTTING THE THINGS INTO PAPER BAG.

"YES" *VICTOR SAID.

I'VE HEARD SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

I'VE HEARD ALL KINDS OF STORIES  ABOUT IT.

BUT ,ARE THEY TRUE?.

WHO HAS BOUGHT IT.

DO YOU KNOW.

"YES" *DICK SAID.

I DO KNOW.

IT'S  *ADAM.

HE  IS THE RICH SHOP-OWNER.

HE OWNS A GREAT MANY SHOPS ALL OVER THE COUNTRY.

"HE DOESN'T OWN THIS ONE" *VICTOR SAID.

"HE WILL WANT TO OWN THIS"  SAID *DICK.

" WAIT AND SEE".

"WHAT" *VICTOR SAID.

THIS LITTLE SHOP.

IT'S  MUCH TOO SMALL.

HE ONLY CARES ABOUT BIG SHOPS.

"HE BUYS SMALL SHOPS ".

"AND HE MAKES THEM  BIG SHOPS".

HE CAN'T HAVE THIS ONE.

THIS IS MY SHOP.

IT WAS MY FATHER'S SHOP.

IT WILL BE MY SON'S.

I WILL NOT SELL IT TO ANYONE.

"THAT'S RIGHT"  HIS FRIEND SAID.

YOU MUST TELL HIM THAT.

HE WAS VERY TROUBLED.

SOME DAYS LATER.

*VICTOR GOT A LETTER.

HE READ IT.

AND HIS FACE BECAME VERY RED.

"WHAT IS THE MATTER " ASKED HIS WIFE.

YOU LOOK VERY ANGRY.

WHOM IS THAT LETTER FROM.

"IT'S FROM *ADAMS" SAID *VICTOR.

HE WANTS TO BUY OUR SHOP.

"BUT WHY" ASKED HIS WIFE.

YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL THE SHOP,DO YOU?.

WHY CAN HE CARE ABOUT A LITTLE SHOP LIKE OURS.

BECAUSE HE LIKES BUYING SMALL SHOPS .

AND MAKING THEM INTO BIG ONES.

*DICK KNOWS ALL ABOUT HIM.

HE TOLD ME.

"IT CAN'T MATTER TO US" SAID MRS. NEWTON.

THE SHOP IS OURS.

IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SELL IT.

HE CAN'T HAVE IT.

TELL HIM THAT.

HE CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

"YES" SAID *VICTOR.

I'LL TELL HIM THAT.

DON'T SAY ANYTHING TO *TOM.

HE PUT THE LETTER IN HIS COAT.

AND HE WENT TO OPEN THE SHOP.

HE STARTED  THE DAY'S WORK.

BUT HE WAS NOT THE HAPPIEST MAN IN THE COUNTRY.

ONE DAY.

ABOUT A WEEK LATER.

TOM WAS ON HIS WAY HOME IN HIS CAR.

HE SAW A CAR STANDING BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

A GIRL WAS STANDING BY IT.

SHE WAS LOOKING AT  THE CAR.

*TOM STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR.

"WHAT'S  THE MATTER" HE SAID.

CAN I HELP YOU?.

THE GIRL LOOKED UP.

SHE WAS VERY PRETTY WITH GOLDEN HAIR AND BLUE EYES.

"I DON'T KNOW" SHE SAID.

"IT JUST STOPPED".

I CAN'T MAKE IT GO.

I DON'T KNOW VERY MUCH ABOUT CARS.

"LET ME LOOK" SAID *TOM.

"OH! THANK YOU" SAID THE GIRL.

"YOU'RE VERY KIND".

*TOM LOOKED INSIDE THE CAR.

AND HE FOUND THE TROUBLE.

HE STOOD UP.

"NO" HE SAID.

YOU CAN'T MAKE IT GO.

YOU HAVE TO LEAVE IT HERE.

THEY MUST TAKE  THE CAR LATER.

 "OH! DEAR" SAID THE GIRL.

"WHAT SHALL I DO".

I MUST GET HOME.

AND IT'S A LONG WAY TO WALK.

"I'LL TAKE YOU IN MY CAR" SAID *TOM.

WHAT IS YOUR NAME.

WHERE DO YOU LIVE.

"MY NAME IS *ADAMS" SAID THE GIRL.

"KAY ADAMS".

I LIVE AT  *THE_MANOR_HOUSE  AT  *HILLFIELD.

"I KNOW THE SHOP" SAID *KAY.

"IT'S OLD AND VERY PRETTY".

I LOVE OLD HOUSES AND SHOPS.

"WHAT WORK DO YOU LIKE " SAID *KAY.

"CARS" SAID *TOM.

"ANYTHING TO DO WITH CARS".

I WORK WITH CARS IN *MAIDSTONE.

MY FATHER WANTED ME TO WORK IN THE SHOP.

BUT I DIDN'T LIKE THE WORK.

BY THIS TIME.

THEY WERE ON THEIR WAY TO THE_MANOR_HOUSE.

I UNDERSTAND YOUR FATHER.

*TOM LOOKED AT HER AND LAUGHED.

"YOU HAVE TO MEET MY FATHER"  HE SAID .

HE TALKS LIKE THAT.

THEY CAME TO *THE_MANOR_HOUSE.

AND *TOM STOPPED  THE CAR.

"THANK YOU VERY MUCH" SAID *KAY.

AS SHE GOT OUT.

"WILL YOU COME IN".

"NO,NOT NOW,THANK YOU"  SAID *TOM.

I MUST GET HOME.

BUT I WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

WILL YOU COME TO THE SHOP ONE DAY?.

YOU CAN SEE OUR HOUSE, TOO.

IT'S OVER THE SHOP.

"THANK YOU"  SAID *KAY.

THAT WILL BE VERY NICE.

AND THANK YOU AGAIN FOR HELPING ME.

I'LL STOP ON MY WAY HOME.

AND I TELL THEM TO GET YOUR CAR.

HE STARTED HIS CAR AND WENT AWAY.

ALL THE WAY HOME.

HE WAS THINKING ABOUT GOLDEN HAIR AND BLUE EYES.

"I MUST SEE HER AGAIN" HE THOUGHT.

HOW CAN I DO IT.

THE NEXT MORNING.

*VICTOR WAS IN HIS SHOP.

ONE OR TWO PERSON  CAME IN.

AND THEY BOUGHT SOMETHING.

AND THEN THEY WENT OUT AGAIN.

A LITTLE LATER .

*VICTOR SAW A MAN STANDING OUTSIDE.

AND HE WAS LOOKING AT THE THINGS IN THE WINDOW.

THEN THE MAN LOOKED AT THE FRONT OF THE SHOP.

 AND THE HOUSE.

*VICTOR WENT TO THE DOOR AND OPENED IT.

"GOOD-MORNING,MR. ADAMS" HE SAID.

"WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU" HE SAID.

DO YOU WANT TO BUY SOMETHING?.

"GOOD-MORNING,MR. NEWTON" SAID ROBERT-ADAMS.

YES,  YOU CAN DO SOMETHING FOR ME .

YOU CAN SELL ME THIS SHOP.

"I ANSWERED YOUR LETTER,MR. ADAMS".

THERE IS NOTHING MORE FOR ME TO SAY.

GOOD-DAY.

HE WENT INSIDE.

AND HE SHUT THE DOOR.

*ROBERT-ADAMS OPENED THE DOOR .

AND  HE CAME INTO THE SHOP.

"YES,I GOT YOUR LETTER,MR. NEWTON" HE SAID.

"BUT THERE IS SOMETHING  MORE TO SAY".

IF YOU DON'T SELL ME THIS SHOP.

I SHALL BUILD ANOTHER ONE.

MUCH BIGGER.

IT WILL NOT BE FAR AWAY FROM HERE.

PEOPLE  WILL COME  TO MY SHOP.

BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT PAY  MUCH MONEY.

I CAN DO  THIS.

BECAUSE I AM MUCH RICHER THAN YOU ARE.

I WILL PAY YOU WELL FOR THIS SHOP.

YOU WILL NOT BE POOR.

THINK ABOUT IT AGAIN,*MRNEWTON.

I DON'T WANT TO WAIT MUCH LONGER.

HE WALKED OUT OF THE SHOP.

JUST THEN.

MRS. NEWTON CAME INTO THE SHOP.

"WHAT  WAS HE SAYING?" SHE ASKED.

I HEARD HIM TALKING.

HE TALKED A LOT.

YOU DIDN'T SAY MUCH.

"NO", SAID *VICTOR.

THERE ISN'T MUCH TO SAY.

THIS IS THE END OF  *NEWTON'S.

HE WILL BUILD A BIGGER SHOP NEAR HERE.

AND EVERYONE WILL GO THERE.

I CAN NOT  SELL ANYTHING.

YOU CAN'T FIGHT AGAINST MONEY.

HE LOOKED SADLY AT HIS SHOP.

*TOM WILL NEVER HAVE IT NOW.

HE WILL NEVER WORK HERE .

OR HIS SON  WILL NOT WORK.

*TOM DOESN'T WANT TO WORK HERE.

HE WANTS TO WORK WITH CARS.

YOU KNOW THAT.

HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THE SHOP.

YOUNG PEOPLE DON'T THINK AS WE DO.

THESE THINGS MATTER TO US VERY MUCH .

LIFE CHANGES ALL THE TIME.

*ROBERT-ADAMS WILL PULL THIS BUILDING DOWN.

THE SHOP AND THE HOUSE.

WE HAVE TO FIND SOMEWHERE ELSE  TO LIVE.

"YES" SAID HIS WIFE.

THAT MAKES ME VERY SAD.

THAT IS THE SADDEST PART OF IT ALL.

IT'S A BEAUTIFUL OLD BUILDING.

A NEW BUILDING  WILL NOT BE NICE.

"LIFE CHANGES" SAID *VICTOR.

IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME.

HE LOOKED VERY SAD.

HIS WIFE PUT HER ARM THROUGH HIS.

"DON'T BE TOO SAD" SHE SAID.

WE STILL HAVE EACH OTHER.

THAT MATTERS MOST OF ALL.

TOM DID NOT SEE *KAY  FOR SOME DAYS.

BUT HE THOUGHT ABOUT HER ALL THE TIME.

HE WANTED TO SEE HER AGAIN .

THEN.

ONE DAY.

HE WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK.

 IN HIS CAR.

HE SAW HER WALKING WITH HER DOG.

HE STOPPED AT ONCE.

AND HE GOT OUT.

"I AM GLAD TO SEE YOU AGAIN" HE SAID.

"I WANTED  TO CALL YOU  ABOUT YOUR CAR".

"YES,THANK YOU" SAID *KAY.

IT GOES VERY WELL NOW.

BUT I DON'T WANT IT TODAY.

BECAUSE I'M TAKING MY DOG FOR A WALK.

WE'RE GOING INTO THE FIELDS.

"MAY I COME WITH YOU?" SAID *TOM.

"YES,IF YOU WANT TO".

*TOM PUT HIS CAR NEAR THE ROAD.

THEN HE AND *KAY WALKED INTO THE FIELDS.

THEY WALKED AND TALKED FOR SOME TIME.

THEY WERE VERY HAPPY.

THE DOG RAN ABOUT.

AND IT WENT INTO THE NEXT FIELD.

THERE WAS A HORSE IN THIS FIELD.

THE DOG RAN AFTER IT.

"OH!" CRIED *KAY.

"MY DOG".

"IT'S RUNNING AFTER THAT HORSE".

SHE BEGAN TO RUN .

"*BIMBO!".

"COME BACK".

"COME HERE AT ONCE".

*TOM RAN ,TOO.

*TOM WAS IN THE OTHER FIELD.

THE DOG WAS MAKING THE HORSE AFRAID.

JUST THEN THE HORSE TURNED.

AND IT LIFTED ITS FOOT TO HIT THE DOG.

*TOM RAN AS FAST AS HE COULD.

HE CAUGHT THE DOG.

AND HE PULLED IT AWAY.

HE MADE A NOISE.

AND THE HORSE RAN OFF .

TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE FIELD.

"OH!".

"THANK YOU" SAID *KAY.

THAT HORSE  MAY KILL *BIMBO.

"KEEP YOUR DOG AWAY FROM THAT FIELD".

THE HORSE IS ALWAYS THERE .

IT'S AFRAID OF DOGS.

THEY WALKED BACK TO THE ROAD.

AND THEY CAME TO THE CAR.

"I WILL TAKE YOU HOME AGAIN" SAID *TOM.

"BUT FIRST".

"WILL YOU COME HOME WITH ME  ".

"AND SEE THE OLD SHOP".

"YOU WANTED TO DO THAT ,DID'T YOU".

"OH! YES" SAID *KAY.

I WILL LIKE THAT.

I'VE NEVER BEEN INSIDE IT.

THEY WENT TO THE SHOP.

AND *TOM TOOK *KAY INSIDE.

"HOW PRETTY IT IS" SHE SAID.

MY FATHER AND MOTHER LOVE THIS HOUSE.

I WANT THEM TO STAY HERE .

" BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO WORK HERE ,DO YOU".

"YOU WANT TO WORK WITH CARS".

"YES" SAID *TOM.

"BUT THAT WILL NOT MATTER ".

MY FATHER IS NOT AN OLD MAN.

HE CAN  WORK IN THE SHOP FOR A LONG TIME.

WHEN HE GETS OLDER.

I CAN PAY SOMEONE TO HELP HIM.

HE AND MY MOTHER CAN STILL LIVE IN THE HOUSE.

THE NAME *NEWTON'S  WILL STAY.

I ALWAYS  WANT TO KEEP THAT.

ONE DAY I MAY LIVE HERE AGAIN.

I SHALL NEVER SELL IT.

THEY WENT FROM THE SHOP INTO HOUSE.

*VICTOR-NEWTON AND HIS WIFE WERE THERE.

"THIS IS *KAY-ADAMS" SAID *TOM.

"*KAY, THIS IS MY MOTHER AND FATHER".

"I AM VERY HAPPY TO MEET YOU" SAID *KAY.

I'VE SEEN YOUR SHOP .

AND I LOVE IT.

*VICTOR-NEWTON STOOD UP.

"IS *ROBERT-ADAMS YOUR FATHER?" HE SAID.

"YES" SAID *KAY.

"WHERE DID YOU MEET MY SON" SAID *VICTOR.

*KAY TOLD THEM ABOUT THE CAR.

  THE WALK IN THE FIELD.

"I SEE " SAID *VICTOR.

HE LOOKED AT *TOM.

"WHY DO YOU SAY THAT".

"IT'S GOING TO BE SOLD".

"AND LATER".

" IT'S GOING TO BE  PULLED DOWN".

"OH! NO" CRIED *KAY.

" THIS BEATIFUL OLD BUILDING".

WHO IS BUYING IT.

WHO WANTS TO PULL  DOWN?.

"YOUR FATHER" SAID *VICTOR.

"MY FATHER " SAID *KAY.

"NO ,IT CAN'T BE TRUE".

"IT IS TRUE" SAID *VICTOR.

AND EVERYONE WILL GO TO THE BIG NEW SHOP.

I SHALL NOT SELL ANYTHING.

"AND WHERE WILL YOU LIVE" SAID *TOM,ANGRILY.

*VICTOR-NEWTON LAUGHED .
