    (continued from previous page)
    am short of coppers everyone seems to be short as well. Whenever I am short of silver everyone has coppers. At ten past five I am back again in the garage. I count my cash and tickets and hand them into the cashier. The rest of the day is mine. I am free now until six o'clock in the morning. Then, when my noisy alarm whirrs the daily routine will begin again.
