8 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Every kid has a bike but me. Sergio rides his new bike while I run beside, out of breath. He reminds me that my birthday is coming. He forgets there’s a difference between his birthday and mine. My birthday wishes won’t make money appear.
At Sonny’s Grocery, I stand in line, waiting behind the lady in the blue coat who we see all the time. She steps up to pay and her purse (钱包) tips. A dollar falls onto the floor. No one sees. I pick up the money fast. She’s out the door, but I don’t follow her-it’s just a dollar.
Later, when I’m alone, I fish out the crumpled (皱的) bill. It is not one dollar. It is one hundred dollars. My hands are shaking. That money is enough for a bike like Sergio’s.
That night, when I take my papers out of my backpack, I find the zipper (拉链) that was closed is open, and the money is gone. I head out the door. Rain is falling as I retrace (折返) my steps from school to bike shop to home. Rain and tears feel the same. It’s nowhere.
When the bell rings the next morning, I tell Sergio I’ll walk to Sonny’s to pick up some juice for Mom. When I pack my backpack, I notice the smallest zipper inside-still closed. I slide it open, and find it! I am rich again. I race to Sonny’s as fast as riding.
Someone bumps (撞到) into me and apologizes in a soft voice. I turn. My feet are ice-cold, watching as the lady in the blue coat makes her way to the counter with her eggs. She reaches into her purse. And suddenly, I remember how it felt for me when that money that was hers-then mine-was gone. I leave the juice behind and follow her. She walks down one street, then past the bike shop. My mouth is dry.
