Video Script:
Sally is 13 years old. She keeps fit by doing athletics at school and delivering leaflets for her dad’s lawn mowing business. But right now her Dad doesn’t have any work for her. So Sally’s looking for a new job. One day she saw this ad in the paper.
“Fit young person wanted for evening paper deliveries. Phone Tom Downer, 345-6789”.
Sally decided to ring Mr Downer. He asked her about her age and her fitness. Sally told him that she was very fit and experienced at delivering leaflets. Mr Downer asked her to come and see him the next day.
After school, Sally went to see Mr Downer. As she went in she said, “Hello, Mr Downer, I’m Sally. Remember you asked me to come in about a job?” “Oh”, he said, looking rather uncomfortable. “I didn’t, ah, realise, that you, I thought you said you were fit.”
“I am,” said Sally. “Are you worried about my wheelchair? ”
Mr Downer didn’t know what to say.

Waea ki a Tom Downer, 3456789.
