-

-Or a 100.

-I'd give them a safe full of my

-..so they could

-have something to drink.

-Is 2 enough for a meal and a drink?

-They need lots more than that.

-They haven't eaten for years.

-I'd let them stay in our house.

-I'd let them stay in our house.

-

-Mam wouldn't let them stay.

-If I was older and had my own

-house with a spare bed...

-..I'd let them sleep there

-for a couple of nights.

-If Mam was willing...

-They could stay in our porch

-because we have a radiator there.
