Steve grabbed his bat and glove. "See you later, Mom. I'm going to Paul's. "With these words, he raced out the door and slammed(砰地关上) it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day, so they could make the freshman team.
Seeing Paul waiting outside, Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder and asked, "What are you doing？Where's your stuff？"Paul shook his head, "I have to clean Mr. Thimpson's garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can't do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Thimpson's. They're kind of old. ""Okay, "said Steve. "I'll help you. We'll get done quicker working together. "
The boys went down the block to the Thimpson's and got started. They put boxes that were scattered(散落)around the garage floor on shelves before they swept. As Paul lifted a big box onto a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked up the envelope and found it wasn't sealed. He opened it, inside which were lots of one hundred dollar bills. Gasping in astonishment, Paul pulled out a handful of bills and showed them to Steve.
"Where did you get that？"asked Steve. Paul pointed to the shelf, explaining, "It just fell down when the box fell. There's got to be a couple of thousand dollars here. "He looked past Steve to the opening garage door. "Nobody is around. If I take some, I bet no one will ever know, "added Paul, uncontrollably picturing the bat and glove in McGroger's Sports Store that he had longed for.
Steve frowned and shook his head. "Are you crazy？That's stealing. ""Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don't get paid. It's not really stealing；it's kind of payment for my hard work. "Paul defended himself. "Forget about it. You're better than that. "Steve grabbed the money from Paul's hand, stuffed it back in the envelope and put the envelope back on the shelf. "Come on! Let's get done and go to the park, "Steve urged.
