James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 26 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 27 on earth was he going to get the 28 of the money?

He had 45 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.
