Chapter 1 Buying a lottery ticket

Rick Drummond is going to buy a lottery ticket. Hes


walking down the street and listening to music. The music
is very loud. Rick is singing as he listens. He walks into an
ice-cream shop.
6
Can I help you? the shop assistant asks Rick. Rick looks
at the man, but he cant hear him.
Sorry? Rick says.
The shop assistant writes something and gives it to Rick.
It says: TURN YOUR MUSIC OFF!
Sorry, Rick says. He turns o his music. Can I have a
lottery ticket, please?

7
The shop assistant smiles. This is an ice-cream shop, he
says. We dont sell lottery tickets.
But I always buy my lottery ticket here, from Mr Khan.
Where is he? says Rick.
Mr Khans shop is next door and he sells lottery tickets,
the shop assistant says slowly.
Ah, Ive got the wrong shop. Stupid me! says Rick.
Well, asks the shop assistant, do you want to buy an ice-
cream?
No, thank you, says Rick. Ice-cream is bad for me. See
you.

8
Why? What do you do? the shop assistant asks.
Rick turns and smiles at the man. I play the guitar and I
write songs. Im going to be a famous rock star one day.
Rick leaves the shop. Hes singing a new song.
Its an ice-cream shop, baby,
You cant buy a lottery ticket here,
Its an ice-cream shop, baby,
No lottery tickets here.
The shop assistant watches him. He cant sing and he writes
stupid songs. He isnt going to be a rock star! He laughs.
