There was once a young called Stacey who lived with her grandfather in a small town outside of
中文名 Chinese Name

Birmingham in England. She was only 11 years old but she had big dreams of being successful as her
mother used to be before the accident. It took place when she was only 6 years old and she didn’t
really remember what had happened clearly as for her it was half a lifetime ago, she just remembered
that there were times with her mother and that now she was no longer able to be around. Stacey never
let this stop her from trying to make her mother proud, she never knew her father and her grandfather
barely knew him either, whenever she asked about him her grandfather would simply say “It’s been
too long for me to remember certain details.” She thought that this was either because he didn’t want
to talk about it or maybe he simply was getting too old to remember it, although she believed it was
probably not the latter. Stacey had a friend called George who lived only 6 houses further down the

road on the same street as her. It was called Bakersfield Street but George always referred to home as
“The Bakery” even though there were no bakeries on the street. George also went to the same school
as Stacey so they frequently walked to and from school together with her grandfather as George’s dad
was very busy at work (he worked as a police officer so he would do strange hours of work
sometimes), she never minded spending extra time with George he was quite funny.
