Bruce shook his money box again.
Nothing! He carefully counted the coins that lay on
the bed. All that he had was $24.52. The 31 which
he wanted was at least $90. How on earth(究竟) was he
going to get the rest of the 32 ?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was hard
to hang out(闲逛) with people when you were the only one
33 a
bicycle. He thought about 34 he could
do. He couldn’t get money from his parents, because he knew they had no extra(额外的) money.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to
earn(挣钱) it. He would have to find a job. He
decided to ask Mr Clay for 35 .
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr Clay. “You
see, my windows need cleaning and my car needs washing”.
That was the beginning of Bruce’s part-time(兼职) job. For the next three
36 he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took
dogs for walks and cleaned rooms.
The day finally came when Bruce
37 his money and found $94.32. He wasted no time and went down
to the shop to 38 the bicycle he wanted. He rode
home proudly, looking forward to 39 his new
bicycle to his friends. Bruce liked his bicycle very much because he had bought
it with his own money. At last, his dream came true, and his parents were
40 of him.
