that instead of making money,I would end up owing it.
“You can do it,”said my mother.“   39  ,you won’t get much business until lunch.”
“But I’ll never remember the orders,and I’m no good    40_money.Please,Mom,don’t

When I got to the bar the next day,I found my mother was   44  .Because the weather that day was rainy and cold,people wanted hot snacks and drinks.   45  ,I was really slow at taking the orders and making change.The line of people grew,and everybody seemed   46  .I was so nervous that my hands shook,and I    47  a cup into pieces.What a mess!Then my mother came to   48  me,and she also showed me how to make   49  .If someone gave me $5 for something that cost $3.25,I handed over  50  quarters and a dollar and said,“75 cents makes four dollars,plus one dollar makes five.”Things went more   51  after that.
