James shook his money box again.Nothing!He carefully1 the coins that lay on the
bed.$24.52 was all that he had.The bicycle he wanted was at least $90!2 on earth was
he going to get the3 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles.It was4 to hang around with people when
you were the only one without wheels.He thought about what he could do.There was no5
asking his parents,for he knew they had no money to6.
There was only one way to get money,and that was to7 it.He would have to find a job.
8who would hire him and what could he do?He decided to ask Mr.Clay for advice,who
usually had9 on most things. 'Well,you can start right here,' said Mr.Clay.'My windows
need cleaning and my car needs washing.'
That was the10 of James's odd job(零工) business.For three months he worked every day
after finishing his homework.He was amazed by the11 of jobs that people found for him to
do.He took dogs and babies for walks,cleared out cupboards,and mended books.He lost count
of the12 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned,but the13 increased and he knew that
he would soon have14 for the bicycle he longed for.
The day15 came when James counted his money and found $94.32.He16 no time and
went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted.He rode17 home,looking forward to
showing his new bicycle to his friends.It had been hard18 for the money,but James knew that

thought was impossible,and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
