The expression ‘when life gives you lemons, make lemonade’ is often spoken by Yorkshire adults to their children to get them to look on the bright side. The phrase basically means, ‘when you are having a bad day, think about the good days you have had.’ When you can’t get to work due to rain, just say ‘when life gives you lemons make lemonade,’ because if you had of gone, there may have been an accident.
Believe it or not, Stephen and Paul could use that expression because Dig did give them a little bit of money. Each day, he would give each of them a £10 note, which they would look after because they knew that if they didn’t, Dig would steal it off them.
Every day, the two kids would have 2 hours to themselves before Dig returned. For a couple of weeks they tried making an aeroplane so they could fly to their tree house that they spend their free time in out of the oval shaped window in the room that they worked in. Unfortunately, on the planned day of takeoff, he destroyed it. For the next few weeks after that they tried making a gun to knock him out or possibly kill him. The day they planned to shoot him, he set the contraption on fire. Nothing they tried worked!
At this point, you are probably wondering why they didn’t run down the road to their own houses and hide in their bedrooms after school. This is why. Many years back, six infact, when the boys were just five, Dig got them to make him a device that senses movement. Then he forced them to program it to drop a cage onto them if they walked past it before 8.00pm. Back then the boys didn’t know why he wanted them to do it, but now they had a very clear idea. Dig had placed it outside his house so before 8.00pm (the time when Stephen and Paul went home), it would drop a cage on them and they would be trapped until he came back and punished them badly.
They could have just not come to the evil man’s house and just gone somewhere else instead but they guessed that he would use some of the other contraptions they had made him to capture them somehow. There was no way out. Or was there?
