The night before the　 44　 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too 　45 　for him. In the yard he　 46　 the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we　 47　 . It wasn’t in the best 　48　 and was certainly not new, but the tires were 　49　 good.

We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was　 50　 , my friend put it on the sidewalk, with a sign that 　51　 “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was　 52 there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was　 53 　free. She said yes and that he could have it for　 54　 . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.

Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very 　55　 , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering 　56 　they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him　 57 . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had　 58　 . He was so happy to　 59　 that someone else would make good　 60 　of that little bike!
