James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 36 the coins that lay on the bed.
$24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 39 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 40 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 41 .
There was only one way to get the money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 44 on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the 45 of James’s odd-job business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 46 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 47 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 48 increased and he knew that he would soon have 49 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day 50 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 51 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 52 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 53 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 54 he had bought it with his own money. He had 55 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even than the bicycle.
