Colour TV is much better than black and white, but the villagers in the poor mountains don't have enough money to buy one.

I'm sorry to hear that. We ________ to save some money from now on in order to help them.

[　　]

　　The next morning I got up very early. It was dark and everyone was asleep. But I was going to Darpur.

　　I washed and dressed carefully. I put on my best clothes and carried my best stick. I put the money order carefully in my pocket and said goodbye to Martha.

　　I walked ten miles to the main road. I sat down at the main road and ate my breakfast.

　　I waited for the bus for about two hours. The bus came and I got on.

　　It is a long way to Darpur. The bus takes three hours. I arrived in Darpur and walked to the post office directly. I don't often go to Darpur. I only know the market, and one shop. This is the shop of Rick. I buy things for my farm from Rick.

　　There were a lot of people in the post office. I asked about money orders. A man showed me the queue. There was a long line of people and I waited at the back.

　　Finally it was my turn：I was at the front of the queue. But the man at the desk took no care of me.

　　“Excuse me,” I said. “It's my turn. I'm next.”

　　“You are next? Old man, I'm very busy,” the man said. “Look at my papers. Look at all these people. I am very busy. And you must wait.”

　　So I waited. Finally the man looked at me.

　　“What do you want?”

　　I gave him my money order. “This is my money order for one hundred pounds,” I replied.

　　The man held out his hand. “ID Card,” he said.

　　“Excuse me. I don't understand. What is an ID Card?” I replied.

　　“Your ID Card gives your name and your address. Your ID Card describes you. There is a photo of you in your ID Card. I can't give you any money for this money order if you don't show me your ID Card.”

　　“But I don't have an ID Card. Where can I buy one?” I asked.

　　The man did not speak to me. He gave no answer, And I didn't know what to do then.

“What can I buy with one coin? It is too hard!” Then a girl finds the boy is not happy and comes up to him. “Can I help you? ” The boy tells her that hard task. “I know what you can do, ” she says. “Go and buy a watermelon with this coin. ” It will give you everything your father wants.” The boy thanks the girl and then runs to buy a watermelon.
