Ill wear your granddads clothes.

Devan sang and rhythmically played the guitar while people put

money into his black hat. He smiled as he saw 1 and 2 coins

dropping onto the big pile that was already there.

He was at Parrs Wood Metrolink station with his greyhound Jeff

on a summer morning in 2013.

After he had collected a lot of money, he shoved the coins and

the hat into his backpack and jumped onto the tram. He ducked

under a table as the ticket collector came past. When the ticket

collector had gone he started to sing the same song. It made

people laugh and they gave him even more money.

He saw lots of people at the next station and jumped off, then

began setting up to perform again. He sang another funny song

and people gave him even more money.

He left the station and went to wander round the streets of

Manchester. He liked Manchester because there were a lot of

people and there were hundreds of stalls with cheap, fun thingsto buy like jokes and toys.

Devan was at McDonalds on his iPhone one night. He started

looking at pictures on Bobs Facebook page. There were

pictures of Zayd, Bob and him at school, messing around and

pulling funny faces. Some pictures showed his Mum and Dad.

He thought about how much he missed them and the good

times that he had with his friends.

But sometimes he cried, because he didnt like what his Mum

and Dad used to do. They hit him with a cane because they

were mentally ill and very angry.

As soon as he was 16, they threw him out.

Youre old enough to survive on your own now, so heres 200

and go.

He took his guitar and his dog, his sleeping bag and his torch

and left and never went back. He spent 100 on a pop-up tent.He spent the rest of the money on food and water. When his

money went he thought to himself, I have a good voice, a

guitar with me and my hat, so why dont I start busking?

Hey you, called Mr Jokeyjolley, do you want a job? I own the

Metrolink

Devan replied with a yes. But how much am I going to get

paid?

50 per hour and you can keep your hat.

Thats fine, said Devan. Can I sleep on the trams?

Nope. That would not be safe.

Come on! thought Devan . The presenter said the rest of the

numbers. They were Devans numbers.

Yeah!!!! he yelled.

The next day he put his ticket in an envelope and sent it to the

lottery people. He knew they would send the money to his Mum

and Dads house so the next day he waited in the alley way

until he saw the postman. Devan watched with binoculars and

he could see his name on the envelope. He quickly scrambled

to the front door and quietly fiddled with the keys. Fortunately

his Mum and Dad were out and he snatched the envelope from

the floor like he was stealing a yoyo off a kid.

He ripped open the envelope and jumped up and down as he

looked at the cheque inside. It was for one hundred million

pounds.

He went to the bank. He felt very excited waiting in the queue.

He didnt usually like banks because they had a weird smell,

but today he didnt mind. When he got to the counter the

woman looked at the cheque and said youre some serious

dude.

I won the lottery! said Devan

The next thing Devan did was to buy a house for his parents.

He did this because he still loved them even though they had

abused him. He bought a beautiful Tudor style house which

had 11 bedrooms and was in Prestbury. It had robotics with


7/12

voice control which would do things like water the plants and do

the dishes. It cost half a million pounds.

He gave three million pounds each to Francis House, Oxfam

and the Red Cross.

He gave a million pounds to each of his friends, Zayd, Safia

and Bob.

The next day Devan got a taxi to the Trafford centre where he

bought the iPhone 5 s, and lots of clothes from his favourite

designers, such as Hollister, Hugo Boss, and Ralph Lauren.

Because he needed another cheque, Devan went back to the

bank. This cheque was to buy his own house which was a 3

bedroomed modern house in Wilmslow. It was a tall 3 storey

house painted in bright colours so everyone noticed it, because

the previous owner liked to show off.

Using his i-phone app, Devan searched for a vintage Bugatti.

He found a fantastic zebra print 1955 Bugatti racing car. He

had to go all the way down to London on the train to pick up the

car. On the way back he drove very slowly so everyone could

see him and then zoomed rapidly down the motorway.

In the new house Jeff did not like it. He was howling and

whimpering because it was a new environment.

Devan felt sad and lonely because his friends had gone to live

in America.

In the new house Devan didnt like the weird noises because he

had never heard the noises before, not even in his old housewhen he lived with his Mum and Dad. Every time he could hear


9/12

the noises he jumped and yelled out and made Jeff the dog

bark.

When it was time to go bed he stayed up because of the noise.

When the wind blew the curtains, it made shadows like scary

faces and witches fingers.

The next day he went to a homeless shelter and said I have a

nice 3 bedroomed house and I dont want it. Do any of you

want it?

The homeless people said yeah me yeah me!!!!

And then one man popped up and said why dont you want it?

Devan said because I dont feel right in it and it makes me

jump!

Devan spotted a young man who was sitting quietly at the back

of the room. He walked over and said, would you like myhouse?

Y-y-yeah, if thats ok with you, replied the young man.

Everybody was looking at the young man, whose name was

Nelson, because he was the chosen one. One man piped up

and said why him?

Because he is a lovely young man and I know he will take careof my house.

Everybody else groaned.

Come with me, said Devan. Nelson said, OK, 1 minute.

They walked to the parking lot and Nelson said, Nice car. How

much did it cost?


10/12

A million pounds, said Devan.

Woah, said Nelson, and they zoomed off to the house.

At the house, Nelson said Thank you so much for everythingand the opportunity to live in this beautiful house.

Youre very welcome, said Devan.

Devan went into the house and got some of his fancy new

clothes, his iPhone, his guitar and Jeff his dog. He handed the

key over to Nelson and then said goodbye, and sped down the

street in a flash.Two months later, he got a phone call from his friends in

America.

Would you like to come and live in America, because we know

you dont have anywhere to live?

Devan said no.

A second later he rang back, Actually I will come, but only if I

can bring Jeff

His friend said yes, course you can but he has to have

injections and a certificate.

Devan said, I will take Jeff to the vet and sort all that out and

then I will come right over.

The next day Devan went to take jeff the dog to the vets and

then went off to a shop that sold suitcases. He went on the

internet to a shipping company to send his car over to the

U.S.A. After that, he went to Thomas Cook and bought a one

way flight to America F.A. then he remembered he had to get a

visa so he could stay in America for ever.


11/12

Finally he made it to Florida where he met his friends who took

him to Zayds house. Devan decided that with the left over

money he should buy a mansion for him and his friends to live

in. That afternoon they went to the estate agents and they

found a medium sized mansion. It was a big white house with

pillars which had 10 bedrooms. It was empty so they moved in

right away.

The next day they got a removal van to bring everyones stuffrom each house. They lived happily in the mansion. Devan felt

very comfortable with his friends and didnt mind the noises ad

Jeff slept in the same room as Devan and Zayd so he was

happy too.
