Episode 34: Helen Saves the Day

Michal: I told you so!
Tim: Hurry up, I'm getting soaked!
Helen: What's going on here? What a mess! Dad'll kill me.
Michal: It's the water. Tim didn't turn off it before trying to fix the tap.
Helen: Honestly Tim! You're as thick as two short planks sometimes. Michal, turn the water off. Tim, give me the spanner. I'll soon have this sorted.
Tim: What shall I do?
Helen: Get the mop, of course! I want this floor as dry as a bone now! Dad's coming round later to check the flat.
Tim: Is he?
Tim and Michal: Oh no!
Helen: No, I'm just winding you up!
