 Peppi I walked up the stairs carrying my eggplant and tomatoes so I could make eggplant Parmesan for my uncle when he arrived.My uncle should be arriving any minute now. I have not met anyone yet because I just moved in from a small town in Italy, But I have a square in the garden that a man gave me. As I reached for the door handle of my apartment I heard a taxi cab honk. I dropped all my food and ran down five flights of stairs to greet my uncle. But when the door to the taxi opened my face turned a bright shade of purple when I looked in. It wasn't my uncle, It was just an old dude. "Mamma Mia!" I yelped and my monocle flew out. That was my uncle it's just that he aged so much over the last 20 years I didn't recognize him. I reached out a hand to help him out but he just shook his head at me. Then he stood up took a step, and fell down. I lugged him up the stairs and when we reached the top I stood him up and he teetered a lot so I had to try and open the door as fast as I could. The next day I ran down to the garden and started asking questions for what to do with my uncle when I gardened. A nice man named Amir gave me his wheel barrow for a dish of eggplant parmesan. Then I raced along and hired a boy to watch my uncle when I gardened to make sure he didn't get hurt. I pushed the wheel barrow up the stairs and grabbed my uncle and helped him in the wheel barrow. I raced down the stairs yet again found the boy and got right to work at gardening. When I finally finished I looked up and saw my uncle on the ground and his solid gold stop watch appeared missing. I took him up to the room and got him tidied up and asked him 1 question. "How old are you uncle" I asked then he just simply shrugged his elbows and went to sleep. That was the day I learned 2 valuable lessons. The first lesson was never trust a person you don't know to watch something important. And lesson number two is that when you don't know how old you are you are to old.
