Hi, you're new here, aren't you? What's your name?
Stella.
Want to come and play?
I'd like to, but I can't. My mom says I've got to stay and help her. It's my brother's birthday and we're having a party.
Oh, you've got a brother, have you?
I've got two brothers. Kit, the one with the birthday. He's only little. He's four. I've got a big brother who's married. His name is Don.
Does your brother Don live near here?
Yes, not very far away. Cathe, his wife, works in the shop over there. They've got a new baby called Liz. I mean Elizabeth really, but we call her Liz.
Is that your mom over there calling you?
No, that's my aunt May, my mother's sister. I'd better go. Bye.
