It is also the village post office. The children in the village always stop to spend a few pence on sweets or ice-cream on their way home from school.

He is a postman, a policeman, a fireman, a taxi driver, a school-bus driver, a boatman, an ambulance man, an accountant, a petrol attendant, a barman, and an undertaker. Also he and his wife, Margaret, have a shop and a small hotel.

Every weekday Seumas gets up at 6.00 and makes breakfast for the hotel guests. At 8.00 he drives the island’s children to school. At 9.00 he collects the post from the boat and delivers it to all the houses on the island. He also delivers the beer to the island’s only pub. Then he helps Margaret in the shop.
He says: “Margaret likes being busy, too. We never have holidays and we don’t like watching television. In the evenings Margaret makes supper and I do the accounts. At 10.00 we have supper and I go to bed. Perhaps our life isn’t very exciting, but we like it.”
Answer the questions
Where does Seumas live?
How old is he?
How many jobs does he have?
What’s his wife’s name?
What does she do?
