7. Monday morning comes, he wakes up and does all of his duties. In the morning, Danny calls a lot of his friends and family. He asked them if they knew of any places that are hiring. Then of course they all say, “I don’t know.”

8. Matt’s Construction is hiring.

9. Danny goes to a couple stores, gets a newspaper and is looking through it to see if anyone is hiring. He finds a job, and it is called Matt's Construction. Danny goes the next day to ask for an application.
