Housekeeping

A dragon banister and a creaking door—have Marie

and Noelle’s moneymaking plans gone too far?

“We’re going to Hawaii! We’re going to Hawaii!” Marie told Noelle,

a huge smile on her face.

“What a lucky family! I wish I could go,” said Noelle.

“No,” Marie said. “The ‘we’ is you and me! We are going to Hawaii.

My aunt Kristine has offered to take us with her to Hawaii!”

Noelle stared in shock at Marie for a second and then screamed,

“No way!”

“But there’s a catch,” Marie said. “Aunt Kristine wants us to earn

half the cost of our expenses. She’ll pay the rest.”

“How much will we need to earn?” Noelle asked. After Marie told

her, Noelle whistled. “That’s a lot of

money. Do you think we can do it?”

“I think so,” said Marie. “I’ve

already brainstormed ideas with my

parents. They know people who will

hire us for small jobs—starting with

Mrs. Peterson, the caretaker of that

huge historic house on Maple Street

that’s open for tours.”
