You are visiting your grandparents for the holiday and it has been rainy and miserable outside. You have decided to explore the attic. Up the stairs you creak. In the dark you stumble upon a trunk. You open it up and find old fashioned pictures. You can see that the pictures look like grandpa. You go to ask him what they are all about. You showed grandpa the pictures. "Those are pictures of me at work back in the olden days," he said.
