James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 26 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 27 on earth was he going to get the 28 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 29 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 30 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 31 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 32 it. He would have to find a job. 33 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 34 on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the 35 of James’s odd-job(零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 36 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 37 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 38 increased and he knew that he would soon have 39 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day 40 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 41 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 42 home, hoping to show his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 43 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 44 he had bought it with his own money. He had 45 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
