Chuck Needs Help

Chuck really wanted to get the new Game Box 9000 but the system cost $400. And he didn’t have any money at all.   1  . He did lots of housework for his  mother. And he walked dogs for his neighbours.

After about a month of working hard Chuck had $200 but the money was not coming quickly enough. Chuck was discussing his problem with his friend on the bus.   2   . The older kid’s name was Jim. He said to Chuck “Hey Chucky my uncle works at the video game store. He can get any video game system for half off. I can help you get your game box.” Chuck was so excited about getting the new game box that he didn’t think twice.

The next day Chuck gave Jim his money. The following day he hoped to receive the game box. __3_ . “I’m not going to see my uncle until this weekend ” Jim replied. Chuck was so happy to get such a great deal on the game box that he didn’t want to push him. “OK great. Next week then.”
