Question

James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! How on earth was he going to get the of the money?

He knew that his friends all had bicycle. It was to hang around with people when you were the only without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to .

There was only one way to get money, and that was to it. He would have to find a job. But who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had on most things.

“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”

That was the beginning of James’s odd-job(零工) business, For three months he works every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 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 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the increased and he knew that he would soon have for the bicycle he longed for.

The day finally came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more since he had bought it with his own money. He had what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
