Steve grabbed his bat and glove. “See you later, Mom. I’m going to Paul’s.” He raced out the door and slammed it behind him. Summer vacation just began. The boys planned to play baseball every day so they could make the freshman team.
Paul was waiting outside for Steve. “What are you doing? Where’s your stuff?” Steve lifted his bat onto his shoulder when catching sight of Paul.
Paul shook his head unhappily. “I have to clean Mr Thompson’s garage before I can go. With his broken arm, he can’t do it himself. My mom always volunteers me to help the Thompson’s. They’re kind of old.”
“OK” said Steve. “I’ll help you. We’ll get done quicker working together.”
The boys went down the block to the Thompson’s and got started. They found a couple of brooms and shovels(铲). Before they swept, they put boxes that were strewn(遍布) around the garage floor on shelves. As Paul put a big box on a shelf, it fell off and with it fell an envelope. He picked it up. It wasn’t sealed, so he opened it. There were lots of one-hundred-dollar bills.
“You’ve got to see this.” He pulled out a handful of bills and showed Steve with his eyes lit up. “Where did you get that?” said Steve. Paul pointed to the shelf. “It just fell down when the box fell. There’s got to be a couple of thousand box fell. There’s got to be a couple of thousand dollars here. If we take some, I bet no one will ever know.”
Steve furrowed his brow(皱眉) and shook his head. “Are you crazy? That’s stealing.” “Well, I do a lot of chores for them and don’t get paid. It’s not really stealing; it’s a kind of payment for my hard work,” Paul insisted. At that time, Steve was about to grab the money from Paul’s hand when they heard a sound.
