It was spring, and Steve wanted to get a new set (套装) of football, sports shoes, and a really cool backpack. There was only one problem. That great set was too expensive. Steve only saved $10, and that was not even close to what he would need to buy the set." I could ask mom and dad to give my pocket money in advance," he thought to himself, "but that would be a big advance!"
That night, Steve told his parents the problem. "Have you ever thought about doing something for the neighborhood to earn some extra money?" asked his dad. "No, it would take me too long to earn the money," answered Steve, "I need the new set for the school football match in two weeks."
"Well, if you earn part of the money, I'll advance you the rest. Is that OK?" suggested his dad. Steve agreed with the offer, went back to his bedroom and thought about what he could do to earn some money." Billy from next door takes care of Mrs. Smith's garden, Kelly walks Mr. Frank's dog, and Tony washes Mr. Lipton's car. There is nothing that I can do to ear some money," thought Steve.
The next day after school, Steve went past the store, Sports Time. He loved to lok in the window at all the football equipment and other goods on the shelves. Steve went in and looked at the new football set he wanted.
"Hi, Steve," said Mrs. Thomas," what can I do for you today?"
"I want to see if there is a sale on that football set"
"I am afraid not," said Mrs. Thomas, "it is sill S60."
"I only have $10 saved, and my dad said if I could do something for the neighborhood, he would advance me the rest," said Steve, and he told her about the school football match.
