DUMMY1/sn37_0147.wav\|0\|The ball had bent it back.
DUMMY1/sn37_0148.wav\|0\|An hour later the phone rang at home.
DUMMY1/sn37_0149.wav\|0\|Jemima picked it up, before calling out:
DUMMY1/sn37_0151.wav\|1\|it’s the hospital, Jeremy’s in Accident and Emergency.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0152.wav\|0\|Mum prepared herself for the worst.
DUMMY1/sn37_0153.wav\|0\|She picked up the phone as bravely as she could and she had to ask the nurse to repeat what had happened three times before she understood that her son had probably broken his little finger, that his football trainer had to leave, and that somebody should come wait with Jeremy until he had an xray.
DUMMY1/sn37_0154.wav\|1\|“Yes, I’ll come right away,”
DUMMY1/sn37_0155.wav\|0\|said Mum. She went to the drawer to look for her keys, but they weren’t there.
DUMMY1/sn37_0156.wav\|1\|“Don’t you remember?”
DUMMY1/sn37_0157.wav\|0\|said Jemima.
DUMMY1/sn37_0160.wav\|1\|Uncle Jeff lives not far from the hospital, maybe he could go and wait with Jeremy.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0161.wav\|1\|“Oh I expect he’s away on one of his exotic holidays,”
DUMMY1/sn37_0163.wav\|1\|“You know Uncle Jeff, he spends his weekends scuba diving or trekking in the Himalayas.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0165.wav\|0\|And by the time Uncle Jeff got to the hospital, Jeremy had already had his xray, and a splint was holding together two fingers on his left hand.
DUMMY1/sn37_0166.wav\|1\|“Good job your trigger finger’s still in tact,”
DUMMY1/sn37_0167.wav\|0\|said Uncle Jeff.
DUMMY1/sn37_0168.wav\|1\|“Come on, let’s go clay pigeon shooting.
DUMMY1/sn37_0169.wav\|1\|I reckon we’ve safely got two hours while your Mum thinks you’re still waiting at the hospital.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0171.wav\|0\|said Jeremy.
DUMMY1/sn37_0172.wav\|1\|“You bet!”
DUMMY1/sn37_0174.wav\|0\|Rudy was still sick and didn’t want to come out of the coat cupboard.
DUMMY1/sn37_0175.wav\|0\|They both wished that they had taken him to the vet that morning – but now it was Saturday afternoon, and they would have to wait until Monday.
DUMMY1/sn37_0176.wav\|1\|“This has to be the most unlucky weekend any family ever had”
DUMMY1/sn37_0177.wav\|0\|said Jemima. But Jeremy came back looking pleased with himself.
DUMMY1/sn37_0178.wav\|0\|After all, he was the hero of the match, and though he didn’t let on to Mum about it, he had a great time clay pigeon shooting.
DUMMY1/sn37_0179.wav\|0\|When uncle Jeff heard about Rudy he said:
DUMMY1/sn37_0181.wav\|1\|I know a woman who can do wonders for any cat.
DUMMY1/sn37_0182.wav\|1\|She has healing hands.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0183.wav\|0\|And although Mum didn’t have much faith in Uncle Jeff’s cat-healing friend, she was willing to give anything a try.
DUMMY1/sn37_0184.wav\|0\|So Jeff took poor Rudy off in his basket and Jemima went with him.
DUMMY1/sn37_0185.wav\|0\|They returned later with a very well and satisfied looking cat.
DUMMY1/sn37_0186.wav\|1\|“That’s a miracle.
DUMMY1/sn37_0187.wav\|1\|What did she do?”
DUMMY1/sn37_0188.wav\|0\|asked Mum. And Jemima explained:
DUMMY1/sn37_0189.wav\|0\|“She said that he was suffering from stress and all he needed to do was to chill out.
DUMMY1/sn37_0190.wav\|1\|So she gave him a massage for an hour, and he was purring away in cat-heaven – and look – now he’s completely better.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0193.wav\|1\|“Jeff seems to have an easy answer to every problem.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0195.wav\|0\|She made her special cottage pie with steamed vegetables that she had grown in the garden and while they were eating, Jemima asked:
DUMMY1/sn37_0196.wav\|1\|“Uncle Jeff. Why are you so much luckier than we are?
DUMMY1/sn37_0198.wav\|1\|But everything always seems to turn our right for you, and Dad, well, he just doesn’t seem to have any luck at all.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0199.wav\|0\|Dad gave his daughter an annoyed stare, but he couldn’t protest as his mouth was full of cottage pie.
DUMMY1/sn37_0200.wav\|0\|Jeff saw this and smiled affectionately at his brother.
DUMMY1/sn37_0201.wav\|1\|“Well first of all, I don’t think I’m luckier than your Dad. Not one bit.
DUMMY1/sn37_0203.wav\|1\|In many ways, I’m quite envious of his steady life.
DUMMY1/sn37_0204.wav\|0\|And secondly, luck is just all about how you see things.
DUMMY1/sn37_0205.wav\|1\|Everything that’s happened to you this weekend could be seen as bad luck, but if you look at it differently, it could also be seen as good luck.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0206.wav\|1\|“Good luck?”
DUMMY1/sn37_0208.wav\|1\|“What’s been good about anything that’s happened yesterday or today?”
DUMMY1/sn37_0209.wav\|1\|“Well lots of things,”
DUMMY1/sn37_0210.wav\|0\|said Jeff.
DUMMY1/sn37_0211.wav\|1\|“For instance, you delivered your party snacks to the wrong address.
DUMMY1/sn37_0212.wav\|1\|You lost a customer, but I’m willing to bet that the other office were very impressed by your delicious cooking.
DUMMY1/sn37_0213.wav\|1\|And probably they are feeling just a bit guilty about eating your food for free.
DUMMY1/sn37_0214.wav\|1\|So I see that as an opportunity.
DUMMY1/sn37_0215.wav\|1\|They are your next customer, and perhaps they will be a bigger and better customer.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0216.wav\|1\|“And Dad’s having trouble getting to work since his office moved.
DUMMY1/sn37_0217.wav\|1\|So why doesn’t he suggest to them that he works from home?
DUMMY1/sn37_0218.wav\|1\|Anyone can work from home these days, and it’s a much better lifestyle.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0220.wav\|1\|Have him at home all day?
DUMMY1/sn37_0222.wav\|0\|said Mum. But Jeff went on.
DUMMY1/sn37_0223.wav\|0\|And as for Jemima. Yes, her project was ruined, but that gave her a chance to do it again, and do it even better.
DUMMY1/sn37_0224.wav\|0\|And even Rudy being sick was good luck for him, because he scored an enjoyable cat massage.
DUMMY1/sn37_0226.wav\|0\|And finally all this has been a wonderful opportunity for a family get-together – which is something we don’t do often enough.”
DUMMY1/sn37_0227.wav\|1\|“So actually Jemima,”
DUMMY1/sn37_0228.wav\|0\|said Uncle Jeff,
DUMMY1/sn37_0229.wav\|1\|“I don’t especially have any good luck.
DUMMY1/sn37_0230.wav\|1\|In fact, I’m always getting into all sorts of trouble and scrapes.
DUMMY1/sn37_0231.wav\|1\|You lead a much more steady life, and in some ways, I’m quite envious of you.
DUMMY1/sn37_0232.wav\|1\|But I believe that the whole trick is not to see our little problems as bad luck, but to see them as opportunities.”
DUMMY1/sn60_0002.wav\|0\|She had another reason not to wear anything that might reveal her shoulder.
DUMMY1/sn60_0003.wav\|0\|She had a guilty mark - the tattoo that she was not yet ready to own up to.
DUMMY1/sn60_0004.wav\|0\|Today things were decided by practical considerations.
DUMMY1/sn60_0006.wav\|0\|She chose her biker costume - leather trousers and a leather jacket.
DUMMY1/sn60_0009.wav\|0\|Most of the time he didn't really seem to care what she did, good or bad.
DUMMY1/sn60_0010.wav\|0\|Had he once looked at her homework?
DUMMY1/sn60_0011.wav\|0\|How many parents' evenings had he been to at school?
DUMMY1/sn60_0014.wav\|0\|He didn’t even read her school reports.
DUMMY1/sn60_0017.wav\|1\|You need that support.
DUMMY1/sn60_0018.wav\|1\|You can’t see it, but it is more valuable than a whole heap of cash.
DUMMY1/sn60_0019.wav\|0\|The audition for the TV talent show was held in the ballroom of a London hotel.
DUMMY1/sn60_0020.wav\|0\|Gladys arrived early, but loads of wannabes got there even earlier.
DUMMY1/sn60_0021.wav\|0\|The last time she had seen so many people squashed into such a small area was when she went to see the Viking Treasures exhibition at the British Museum. She felt irritated.
DUMMY1/sn60_0022.wav\|0\|So many people had the same dream as she did?
DUMMY1/sn60_0023.wav\|1\|How dare they!
DUMMY1/sn60_0024.wav\|0\|It was her dream.
DUMMY1/sn60_0025.wav\|0\|"A boy who joined the queue at the same time as her said, ""It's like a football match."" ""Yes,"" said Gladys, ""But at a match it's the spectators who are the crowd."
DUMMY1/sn60_0026.wav\|1\|Here's it's the other way round.
DUMMY1/sn60_0027.wav\|1\|The masses are performing.
DUMMY1/sn60_0028.wav\|1\|The A team will be watching and judging.”
DUMMY1/sn60_0029.wav\|0\|The boy smiled.
DUMMY1/sn60_0030.wav\|0\|He was rather cute.
DUMMY1/sn60_0031.wav\|0\|"""Nice one,"" he said."
DUMMY1/sn60_0032.wav\|0\|A camera crew came round to interview some of the hopefuls in the line.
DUMMY1/sn60_0033.wav\|0\|They chose the boy she had been talking to - it was the mohican haircut that made him stand out.
DUMMY1/sn60_0034.wav\|0\|He wore a sleeveless t-shirt and had all sorts of tattoos down his arm.
DUMMY1/sn60_0035.wav\|0\|Gladys wished for the first time that her own mark were on display.
DUMMY1/sn60_0036.wav\|0\|The interviews were done by a pair of presenters who looked like twins.
DUMMY1/sn60_0037.wav\|0\|"""What was your first gig?"" Asked the one who was the slightly shorter of the two."
DUMMY1/sn60_0038.wav\|0\|Neither of them were exactly giants.
DUMMY1/sn60_0040.wav\|1\|One word.

DUMMY1/sn37_0147.wav|0|The ball had bent it back.

DUMMY1/sn37_0148.wav|0|An hour later the phone rang at home.

DUMMY1/sn37_0149.wav|0|Jemima picked it up, before calling out:
