have some very good
friends who care,”
smiled Angelina.

“Rocky, I am going to grant
your wish. You may go ahead
and leave school. You will be
free to do anything you want,
but you will have to leave
everything you learned in
school behind. Does this sound
good to you?” asked Angelina.
“YES!” cheered Rocky with a
big smile. “YAHOO! No more
school!”
“What are you going to do
first?” smiled Angelina.
“I heard there was a job open
at the music store,” said
Rocky. “I love music.”

“Hello young man. My name is
Mr. Bassoon. How can I help
you?” said the man in the music
store with a smile.
“It’s nice to meet you. I heard
there was a job opening,” said
Rocky.
“Yes, there is. Would you like to
fill out an application?” asked
Mr. Bassoon.
“May I have a pencil?” asked
Rocky.
Mr. Bassoon laughed, “We don’t
use pencils or paper. You will
have to use the computer.”
“Piece of cake!” laughed Rocky.
“I learned that in the 3rd grade.”

Rocky had a sinking feeling
as he tried to put his
application into the
computer.
“I can’t seem to remember
how this works,” he
thought to himself as panic
was starting to set in. “I
can’t read the questions.
What am I going to do?”
“Aren’t you finished yet?”
asked Mr. Bassoon. “If
you can’t work any faster
than that, then I probably
can’t use you.”

Rocky felt awful. He really
had his heart set on
working in the music store.
He walked all over town
trying to get a job. No one
would hire a person who
couldn’t read or write.
Everywhere he went they
knew right away that he
wasn’t qualified. He had no
skills or experience. The
only job he could find was
cleaning toilets on the night
shift; midnight until 7 in the
morning, for minimum wage.
