Episode 34: Helen to the rescue

Michal:

I told you so!

Tim:

Hurry up, I’m getting soaked!

Helen:

What’s going on here? What a mess! Dad’ll kill me.

Michal:

It’s the water. Tim didn’t turn off it before trying to fix the tap.

Helen:

Honestly Tim! You’re as thick as two short planks sometimes. Michal, turn the water off. Tim, give me the spanner. I’ll soon have this sorted.

Tim:

What shall I do?

Helen:

Get the mop, of course! I want this floor as dry as a bone now! Dad’s coming round later to check the flat.

Tim:

Is he?

Tim and Michal:

Oh no!

Helen:

No, I’m just winding you up!
