An unusual job

My name is Adam, I work as a living statue, or street statue.

It’s a good way to earn money and watch the world at the
same time. As a living statue, I have to be patient, strong,
and fit. It’s not easy to stay still for long hours. I usually stay
for two hours in one place.

Then, I go and find a new place. In the photo, I’m standing

on a platform in the street. People usually watch me for a few minutes and then put
some money in the box. Some people put money in the box, some don’t. There are
always a few people who try to annoy me or make me move. They touch me or they
talk to me. Of course, I try hard no to react.

I also work in restaurants and cafés. I sit at a table like a customer, or I stand like a
waiter. Sometimes, I work at birthday parties and other special events.

My job is not boring because I often change my appearance. Sometimes I’m a cowboy
or a Roman Emperor or Charlie Chaplin. Of course, I don’t always want to be a street
statue. I hope to be a movie actor someday. Then at least I can move!
