Mrs.Riley and I always shout at each other.I shout because she can't hear me,and she shouts because she can't
"What do you need from the store?"I'll yell."Bananas,"she'll yell back.
You don't realize what a funny word bananas is until you hear it shouted by an eighty-year-old woman.I work for
buy groceries for her at the supermarket on Nostrand Avenue,and sometimes I dust and sweep her apartment.The best part,
though,is taking care of Sam.Sam is Mrs.Riley's canary().He's bright yellow,and he sings all the time.That's one
thing about canaries.They're always cheerful.That's what I'm saving my money for.I'm going to buy a canary.And
besides the canary,I have to get a cage and swings and toys and food.
"Do you have enough money yet,girl?"Mrs.Riley always shouts at me."Not yet,"I shout back."Soon."And she
always calls me girl,not Carla.Sometimes I think she doesn't remember my name.
Anyway,one day I ran upstairs to Mrs.Riley's.She leaves the door unlocked when she knows I'm coming.She wasn't in
her usual place by the window.She was in bed."Are you sick?"I shouted."Yes,girl.You can't work for me anymore,'
Mrs.Riley said.She coughed."I have to take medicine,and it costs a lot.I can't pay you."
I felt sick to my stomach.How would I find another job?I went over and stuck my finger in Sam's cage.He hopped on his
swing and chirped hello.Then I turned and left.
That night at dinner I couldn't eat."You'll find another job,"Mom said,sitting back in her chair."I feel sorry for her,
Carla.She's so alone up there."Then Mom leaned over and gave me a hug."I'm glad we have each other,"she said.
Mom always makes me feel better.I was able to eat after all.
