Marie's truck

Marie and Brett came to Canada and stayed in the same large two storyed house with SOphie. they could not find a job. Banff is like queenstown, only even more intensely touristy. There ia hardly a Canadian to be found, Many Many australians, and many Kiwis. Marie wanted to leave after two weeks, and go to Cancouver, and return in the summer, abandoning the dream to live in Banff and work, and snowboard.
There were no jobs available. Marie felt as tho she had applied for 500 jobs.
then she and Brett decided to go to Canmore and apply there. It is 25 km away, and is a more homely town, more canadians, much quieter. Marie and Brett thought they might have to move to Calgary, and went there to see. they would need transport. Someone answered their ad, and there was a big red american ford f1/50. Marie felt sick, she said we don't need it, its a lot of money. $650. But they couldn't keep on hitchhiking, and they needed to travel between towns, to visit SOphie and Aaron. They got the truck, but it wouldn't be delivered till the next Wednedsay. They would need to arrange insurance, and a check.
