A comedy of repetitions
Chris is always a loser. He fails all the time.
He gets $25 dollars to buy his leather jacket, but it is more expensive. He must save his money in his piggy bank.
When he can buy his jacket, the discount is finished… it is $100 dollars…! He fails again. He is both disappointed and angry.
At the end, he both succeeds and fails. When he buys his jacket, it is too hot and he faints in the street!

Chris’s final solution
Finally, Chris asks his dad to work with him. But on the 1st day, he oversleeps because it is very early.
He must deliver newspapers in NYC at 3:30 am (in the morning):
He must load the newspapers in the truck, drive the truck and
throw the newspaper in the street.
The job is difficult and tiring because Chris can’t sleep, the newspaper are heavy and it’s cold outside.
But the job is not boring!

Groceries = fruit, veggies, … .
-> Chris fails to get a job. He is a loser.
