James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 36 the coins that lay on the bed.$24.52 were all that he had.The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 37 on earth was he going to get the 38 of the money?

There was only one way to get money, and that was to 42 it. He would have to find a job. 43 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 44 on most things.

The day 50 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 51 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 52 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 53 for the money, so James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 54 he had bought it with his own money. He had 55 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
