railway owes me£12," she said to Harry Jenks, the young man working at the office. "You sold me a ticket
for May 22nd, but there was no ship from Jersey that night. So my daughter and I had to stay in a hotel. It
cost me 12."
Harry was worried. He remembered selling the woman a return ticket. "Come into the office, Madam," he
said politely. "I"ll just check the Jersey timetable for May 22nd."
The woman and her little girl followed him inside. She was quite right, as Harry soon discovered. There
was no sailing on May 22nd. How could he have made such a careless mistake? He couldn"t have sold her a
ticket for that day. Wondering what to do, he smiled at the child. "You look sunburnt," he said to her. "Did
you have a nice holiday in Jersey?"
"Yes," she answered, shyly. "The beach was lovely. And I can swim too."
"That"s fine," said Harry. "My little girl can"t swim a bit yet. Of course, she"s only three..."
"I"m four," the child said proudly. "I"ll be four and a half."
Harry turned to the mother. "I remember your ticket, Madam," he said. "But you didn"t get one for your
daughter, did you?"
"Er, well..." the woman looked at the child. "I mean...she hasn"t started school yet. She"s only four."
"A four-year-old child must have a ticket, Madam. A child"s return ticket to Jersey costs...let me see...
£13. 50. So if the railway pays your hotel, you will owe the railway 1.50. The law is the law, but since the
fault was mine..."

hours late!
I knew Dad would be angry if he 6 I"d been watching movies. So I decided not to tell him the truth.
When I 7 there I apologized for being late, and told him I"d 8 as quickly as I could, but that the car
had needed a major repair. I"ll never forget the 9 he gave me. "I"m disappointed you 10 you have to lie

James"s New Bicycle James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 1 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 the 3 of the money? He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 4 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 5 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 6 . There was only one way to get money, and that was to 7 it. He would have to find a job. 8 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 9 on most things. "Well, you can start right here," said Mr. Clay. "My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing." That was the 10 of James"s odd-job (零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the 11 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 the 12 of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the 13 increased and he knew that he would soon have 14 for the bicycle he longed for. The day 15 came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He 16 no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode 17 home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard 18 for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more 19 he had bought it with his own money. He had 20 what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
