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.

"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.
