(guest,
guests, guesthouse)
Two friends
are planning a party that summer evening.
They are on a roof garden.
All the tenants from this block of flats are coming to your party. They
love to be your guests here.
Great!
So do you really
have a special guest?
Look down at
the courtyard. He’s parking his van.
In
overalls? Guests
usually wear party gear.
Yes, my guest of honour is our maintenance man,
our janitor.
Why?
He has great
ideas. He’ll be the guest speaker. Here he
is. Welcome Nelson. Glad you could come early.
Welcome
Nelson. What will you drink?
We’re glad
you are our guest speaker. You have brilliant ideas about watering
plants.
Watering?
We could
recycle the water from the flats, isn’t that right? Nelson’s idea.
Brilliant! How?
Wait till the other guests
come. We’ll all be growing fruit and
vegetables on the balconies.
When you do that,
may I visit you every day?
Be my guest! Eat all you like!
I wish I could
live here as a paying guest.
I wish I had
a guest room for a house guest to stay.
You could give guest
demonstrations here of your vegetarian cookery. We’ll have great parties.
Welcome,
everyone! Meet our guest of honour! Yes, our
own maintenance man, our janitor Nelson.
You all know
him, but wait till you hear his ideas.
Who’s that
with a smart camera?
He’s from flat
No2. He works for local TV and for the
Council.
What does he
do for local TV?
He arranges guests for local TV programmes. He might even ask you to make guest appearances.
What does he
do for the Council?
He looks after guest workers, immigrants.
The people in those nasty old guesthouses?
He hopes to make their
lives better. Those nasty guesthouses used to have decent
gardens.
Many guest workers know about gardens.
He has come to
get good ideas from you and from the guest
speaker.
About gardens on balconies and this roof?
Maybe.
Anyway, before the party begins we have a present for you.
A present? For me? This beautiful note book?
We love coming
up here for parties as your guests. Look inside.
There are
spaces for people who come here to write their names.
It’s guest book!
I shall look
forward to filling it up when many friends come. Our guest
speaker today will be the first to sign.
Thanks everyone.
