Page:The luck of the story collector

Janice is a cleaner, and she takes pride in being a good one. But what makes her truly special is that she collects stories. For example, the stories of the people she cleans for – because while she dusts bookshelves or defrosts the fridge, people start to share their tales. When Janice begins to clean for the 92-year-old Mrs. B, she finally meets someone who wants to hear Janice's story. But Janice is clear: she is a collector of stories, she doesn't have her own. At least, none that she wants to tell. However, Mrs. B doesn't give up. And it turns out that Janice does have a story after all.
