Once they were both settled Oscar turned the car towards town hoping to pick up some fares. Only a few minutes had passed when he heard "TAXI!". He pulled the car over to the curb and a blonde lady with two kids climbed into the back seat of the car. Chris moved up front. He had to sit awkwardly with his legs sideways...making him look kind of grumpy.
"Can you take us to the Super-Market please?" the blonde lady asked. "Right away, Madam." Oscar replied.
"MOM! I think our driver is a dog." the little girl with braids whispered. "SSSHHH!" "But MOM! Look at his ears." The boy whispered loudly. "SSSSHHHH!" Oscar was so busy driving that he hadn't noticed that his ears had slipped out of his hat and were showing. Sometimes his ears just seem to have a mind of their own. Oscar looked in the rearview mirror and adjusted his hat. While fixing his hat he noticed the blonde lady's face turning crimson.
"Here is your stop Madam." The lady climbed out with the kids in tow after paying her fare and giving Oscar a ten dollar tip. Oscar could see Chris staring at him out of the corner of his eye. UH-OH he thought I had better watch it or my new job will be over before it really gets started. Oscar was really worried. Will he get to continue his new job or will he get caught?
