The night before the__29__,we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too__30__for him.In the yard he__31__the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck.This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we__32__.I wasn’t in the best__33__and was certainly not new,but the tires were__34__good.
We put a price of $10 on it,but it didn’t sell.So,after the sale was__35__,my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that__36__ “FREE BIKE”.Within five minutes her doorbell rang.A little boy was__37__there.In poor English he asked whether the bike was__38__free.She said yes and that he could have it for__39__.He smiled,got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale,he was very__40__,shouting happily.He asked about a few of his things,wondering__41__they had been sold.When he asked about the bike,I told him about the little boy and that made him__42__.He was much happier than when I told him how much he had__43__.He was so happy to__44__that someone else would make good__45__of that little bike!
