Unusual collections

Sam and Helen’s grandparents collect almost everything. There are eight doorbells on their front door.   

“ This silver doorbell is my favourite,”said Helen. She pushed it and soon Grandpa opened the door.

“ Come in, my dear grandson and granddaughter!” he said. “ Who started collecting doorbells, Grandpa?” asked Sam.

“ Your grandma, “he answered. “ She loves doorbells.” “ What do you like collecting, Grandpa?” asked Helen. “ I like collecting newspaper.”

They went inside and saw newspaper everywhere. “ Hello children!” called Grandma. “ Let’s have some tea.”

The children followed her into the living room and saw lots of toys there. There was hardly any space for the children to sit down.

“ Whose toys are these?” asked Helen.  “ They’re ours,” said Grandma. “

We both like collecting toys.”  “ But remember,” said Grandpa, “we have a lot of free time! You have your school work to do, so you shouldn’t spend too much time collecting things!”
