2 Translate into Sinhala.

The carpenter set off early, with his ladder and paint loaded into the back of his small van. He had
to fix a wooden window frame on the upstairs floor of a home on a narrow but busy street in the
middle of town. He knew that he had to begin early in order to find a parking space.

When he arrived at the house, the owner told him that parking was not allowed on the street
during the morning rush hour. The carpenter drove around the nearby streets for a long time and
eventually found a parking space. It took the carpenter nearly 30 minutes to walk back to the
house.

Fixing and painting the window frame took only 20 minutes. As the carpenter walked back to his
van, he decided that he would not take any small jobs in the town centre again.
