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.
