Tom is ten years old. He loves watching TV. But for one year, he didn't watch TV at all. What was the reason? Tom's parents said they would give him ＄600 if he didn't watch TV for a year. Tom's parents thought he watched TV too much.
One day his mother read a story in a newspaper about a boy who didn't watch TV for a year. She showed the story to Tom. Tom liked the idea. He turned off the TV right away, and said, "It doesn't trouble me not to watch TV. I just want the money." At first, Tom's parents were very happy. Tom read books and newspapers, played outside, and played computer games, but soon he got bored.
Every evening, he asked his parents, "What are we doing tonight?" Sometimes his mother and father wished he would watch TV just for one evening. Tom always said, "No, it would cost me money!" Finally the year was over. Then Tom started watching his favorite TV shows all day again. Tom got the money from his parents. What did he plan to do with the ＄600?
