Improved Essays
“Westley, it’s freezing in this nursery!” Buttercup shouted “I know but we don’t have money to pay for heat.” Westley said. “Well then, I guess I will get a job.” “No need for that.” Westley said annoyed. “Just knit some blankets while Emily is taking a nap.”
Wesley grabbed his sword, kisses buttercup and his two week old baby on the forehead and leaves for work. “Don’t worry baby. Soon we will get money and build a nice home.” Buttercup lays the baby in the crib, picks up a knitting needle and begins to make a blanket. As Buttercup was knitting a blanket she gets the idea to get a job anyways. She grabs Emily and starts off looking for a job. The first shop she goes to is the bakery of the town.

“We don’t need anyone else.” Buttercup gloomily walked to the next shop, the candle making shop. As Buttercup walks into the shop she sees a grumpy old man sitting in a chair.

We were doing fine!” He yelled causing Emily to cry “I’ll take her for a walk’ maybe it will make her stop crying.” He picked her up and left. Buttercup stayed until Westley returned. “Wesley can we talk?” she said kind of quiet. “No.” “Please Westley I-“ “I said no!” Westley said interrupting Buttercup. They sat in silence for about an hour. “How could you? I told you, you didn’t need a job. Why did you get one? Westley said starring into space. “I couldn’t take it anymore!” Buttercup said “worrying about my baby getting sick because her own house is to cold.” There was a silent moment “I saved enough money to build a new house.” She said. “I was working on it, wait what? You saved enough money? Why didn’t you say so sooner? We start building tomorrow! I’m sorry I shouldn’t have yelled.” That night flew by and they started building their house and it took one month. Then, they had a house with a heater and anything else they wanted. After that, Buttercup and Westley lived happily ever after with their baby. The
