Jame’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully
21 the coins that lay on the bed . $24. 52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90!
22 on earth was he going to get the
23 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was
24 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no
25 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to
26 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to
27 it. He would have to find a job.
28 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice ,who usually had
29 on most things.
“Well, you can start right here, ”said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing. ”
That was the
30 of James’ s odd-job（零工） business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the
31 of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the
32 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the
33 increased and he knew that he would soon have
34 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day
35 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He
36 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode
37 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard
38 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more
39 he had bought it with his own money. He had
40 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even than the bicycle.
