Mrs. Sato is not happy. It is her birthday, and she has no families with her.

“Hello”, a woman answers. “Hello”, Mrs. Sato says. “I’d like to rent a family.”
“What would you like?”The woman asks Mrs. Sato. “A son? A daughter? Some grandchildren?”
“I’d like to rent a daughter, two grandchildren and their father.” Mrs. Sato says. “OK, the cost is $ 1, 000 for three hours.” The woman says.
At seven o’clock that evening, four actors（演员）come to Mrs. Sato’s house—a woman, a man, and two children. “Happy Birthday!” the actors say. The actors are with Mrs. Sato for three hours. They talk with her, eat dinner with her, and watch TV with her. Then they go home. Mrs. Sato is happy.
No one came to Mrs. Sato’s birthday, so she called Rent-A-Family. Rent-A-Family is a new company in Tokyo. The company sends（派）“families” to people’s houses. The families are really actors. The actors visit for three hours. The cost is $ 1, 000.
