Tom shook his money box again.
Nothing! He put all 1coins on the bed and carefully counted them. All that he had was $20.5. He wanted a bicycle, but it was at least $60. 2could he get the rest of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard to hang out with people since he was the only one without a bicycle. He thought about3. He couldn't get money from his parents,4he knew they didn't have enough money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to earn it by5. He had to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Green for6.
"Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Green." You see, my windows need7 and my car needs washing". That was the beginning of Tom's part-time job. For the next three days, he worked8 every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.
The day finally came when Tom got his money and found it was $82. He wasted no time and went down to the shop to buy the bicycle he wanted. He rode home proudly, looking forward9 showing his new bicycle to his friends. Tom liked his bicycle very much because he had bought it with his own money. At last, his dream came true. His parents were proud of him,10.
