Story Time!

There once was an 13 year old boy named John. John was walking down the sidewalk when something caught his eye. He looked in a store window. The store had a bike in the window as a display. John wanted it. John said " wow! it comes with painted flames, heated seat, gears, a bell, helmet, knee pads, and a cup holder." John went into the store and asked the cashier how much the bike was in the window. " four hundred and thirty four dollars. " John pulled out his wallet and looked inside. nothing. John walked out disappointed. Suddenly he had an idea! John would have a lawn sale! He ran home and gathered all his unused clothes, toys, sports equipment, and lots of other stuff he didn't need. " man, look at all this stuff. its a gold mine! " John thought he wouldn't get too many costumers because nobody knew about his sale. John ran inside his house and got paper and markers. he was going to make posters! John put his addrss on the posters, and his message. he hung them around the neighborhood for people to see them. John went back home to wait for people to come. at the end of the day, John had sold most of his stuff and had made four hundred and twelve dollars. " yes! I only have to make twenty two dollars more!" John closed his lawn sale and went inside to watch television. John was going to watch the local news when he saw the main story. about 6400 people downtown had lost their homes because there was a problem with the pipes and lots of peoples houses have flooded. John felt sad. The news said if anyone would like to donate money for the families that have lost their homes were to go to the news station to donate. John felt sort of guilty. He decided he doesn't need a bike and that the homeless people did. John donated all of his money to the homeless people and went back home. Three days later, John woke up and went outside. By the mailbox was a very large package. he read the card attached to the package. It said "were really grateful that you donated all that money to us so we've decided to return the favor." John opened the package and his eyes stared. inside the package was the bike he wanted! John didn't know what to say. John sent  letter back to the news station. "your welcome."
