An old man who lived in a small back street of my hometown had to tolerate（忍受） the nuisance（讨厌的人或事） of boys playing football and making a lot of noise outside his house at night.

One evening when the boys were particularly_21__，he went out to talk to them. He explained that he had just retired(退休) and was_22__when he could see or hear boys playing his_23_game，football. He would_24_ give them ￥25 each week to play in the street at night. The boys got_25_，for they could hardly believe_26_they were being paid to do something they__27_.

The first two weeks had passed，the boys came to the old man’s house，and went away__28__with their 25 Yuan. The third week when they came back，__29__，the old man said he hadn’t had much money__30__himself and sent them away with only 15 Yuan. The fourth week，the man said he had not yet 31  his paycheck from the government and gave them only 10 Yuan. The boys were very disappointed，but there was__32__much that they could do about it.

At the__33_of the fifth week，the boys came back and__34_at the old man’s door，waiting for their_35_.Slowly，the door opened and the old man appeared. He_36_that he could not afford to pay them 25 yuan_37_he had promised，but said he would give them  38  yuan each week without fail.

This was really too much for the boys. “You expect us to play seven days a week for only five yuan！” they yelled.“__39__！”
