I read 2.5 hours Page 49-70

I read more of my book and the children are getting
more and more mad and sad they have to live with
Count Olaf. He makes them go into the backyard and
chop wood all day, that is pretty hard. They decide to
visit Mr. Poe, the man that was in charge of the
transaction the kids made to there new home. They
think that if they tell him all the things that Count
Olaf did to them, then he will take them to a new home.
So they decide to walk to the bank that Mr. Poe works
at. They find it and go in and find Mr. Poe and tell him
everything. The kids wait to here some good news, but
Mr. Poe said that he can do nothing to help the kids. He
said that Count Olaf can tell the kids anything or do
anything because he is their parent now. The children
were very stunned about what Mr. Poe said and they
walked out. They thought of what they could do next
but it was getting late and they decided to just go back
home. But first they stopped at Justice Strauss's house
and asked if they could get some books to read and
then went home. The next morning the children got
up and went to the kitchen and saw Count Olaf and
ate with him. He said that Mr. Poe called him and
told him what the children did yesterday. Count Olaf
wanted the children to be happy so he told them about
a play that they were all going to preform in. It was
about a girl that falls in love and marries a man. The
children wanted to figure out Count Olaf's plan so they
went next door to Justice Strauss's house.
