le texte:The author was born in Amsterdam in 1935. As a child, she emigrated to America to start a new life after WWII. She remembers her first job, in Chicago, when she was thirteen.

This summer I’ll have my first part-time job like a real American girl. One of my older friends worked for a lady with two little girls. She’s recommended me because she isn’t free this summer. The lady works as a waitress. She doesn’t have a husband and the girls are six and four. I have to be there at noon and she’ll come home after eight. The little girls play outside with a gang of other kids. The sixyear-oId is very helpful and friendly. The four-year-old doesn’t always do what I tell her to do. I know how to give them supper because their mother always leaves hot dogs or peanut butter, jelly and bread

for them. I know how to wash their hands and face and get them ready for bed. What I don’t know ‘is what to do when something unusual happens.

One hot afternoon I look around for the littlest one and can’t see her. I look up and down the biock*, ask her sister, ask other kids. No one has seen her. Has she run away, did she get run over* ? Oh God, did she get kidnapped ? Panicked, I ask some of the kids to help me look and I run around to the next street trying to find her, calling ”Patricia!” over and over. Where is she ? Much later among another little group of playing kids I see her. She went around the corner to another street. Her sister and I tell

Patricia how she must never, never, ever again go away like that.

In the evening after the little girls are asleep, ll finally was thankful that nothing had happened to Patricia. But now I marvel at the poverty of this lady who has to have someone as young and unknowing as me take care of her little girls.
