Jack and the poor people

 Once upon a time, there lived a ten years old boy called Jack. He always wanted to help people, but he never did. One day, his dad came to him and  asked 'You keep saying you want to donate money to charity, but you don't do it?'. 'No' said Jack. He had £120 as his pocket money. As he walked, he  saw 20 poor people sitting on the foot path in a line. Every poor person he saw, he kept £10 in front of them. Suddenly, an old man got up and said 'Thank you for the money', 'You are Welcome !' said Jack. 

Then he went home and his dad asked, 'how much money did you give to each poor person?'. 'I gave 10 pounds each' replied Jack. Then, Jack went to sit on his couch and he turned on the television and started  seeing the BREAKING NEWS. When Jack saw the news that one person was cheering by shouting, 'JACK IS THE BEST !!!!!' and the queens servant was taking a video  that the she was screaming 'JACK IS EXCELLENT!!!' ,he was very happy, but his brother Jackie, turned off the television, because he felt the news was boring. Jack's sister Maria saw Jack and said 'Congratulations'. 'Thanks' said Jack.

On the next day, his dad asked, "Why don't you go to the queen, and tell thank you for the appreciations". "I can do anything you ask me to do, but I always need Jackie because he is my favourite helper" said Jack. Then Jack and Jackie rode to the on their horse called Riley to the queens palace. They walked through the palace and saw the queen sitting on her throne  knitting some wool." Good Afternoon" said the queen .Jack was holding Jackie's phone, so rudely, Jackie snatched his phone from Jack and said "He actually did do nothing. 

The poor people already have £200. But now, the poor people have £400 because Jack gave another £200 for the poor people, so after all, Jack did not help anyone, so from now on, please stop appreciating Jack ,because it is soo annoying for me, Thank you". Then Jack asked, "Who told you all this news?". "No one told me that, I was sitting on my bike behind you "said Jackie. Then Jack felt sad and rode riley to his home, and Jackie ran towards Jack, but  Jack pretended not to listen to his brother. Jack ran to his room, and locked his door. 

His dad tried to open Jack's room door, and he opened it! He sat next to Jack and asked him "Why do you care about what Jackie says?". "I have to care about what he tells me because he is elder than me so I have to respect him" sighed Jack. Then his dad said quietly, "Do you know that, Jackie was actually tricking you so the queen will stop appreciating you and she will start appreciating Jackie ?". "Really??" asked Jack staring longingly at his dad. " Yes, of course!!"said his dad. 

Then, Jack went to Jackie and asked him, "Don't you I know that you are tricking me, so the queen can start appreciating you and can stop appreciating me?". "Am, who told you that? "asked Jackie." My daddy told me that" grinned Jack. Then, Jackie had a confusing expression and Maria, Jack and their mother and father started laughing at Jackie because his expression was funniest of all!!!!
