3. Chuck really wanted to get the new Game Box 9000, but the system cost $400 and he didn't have any money at all. So Chuck did what any motivated youngster would do to earn money: lots and lots of work. He
mowed lawns and raked leaves. He did extra chores and dug in the couch cushions for change. He collected
and returned cans and bottles. After about a month of working and scrounging harder than he ever had,
Chuck earned a little over $200, but the money was not coming quickly enough. Chuck was discussing his
problem with one of his friends on the bus when an older kid named Jim overheard him. "Hey, Chucky," Jim
said, "my uncle works at the video game store and he can get any video game system for half off. I can help
you get your Gamebox." Chuck was so excited about getting the new Gamebox that he didn't think twice.
"Wow, half off? Then I can afford it!" Chuck was ecstatic. He gave Jim his money the next day. The
following day he hoped to receive the Gamebox, but Jim didn't bring it. "Yeah, I'm not going to see him until
this weekend," Jim replied. Chuck remembered Jim promising him something else, but he was so happy to
get such a great deal on the game console that he didn't want to push him. "Ok, great. Next week then." The
week passed by very slowly for Chuck, but it passed. He was so happy to see Jim the next week. He ran up to
him with a big smile, but Jim didn't look happy. "Did you get it?" Chuck asked. Jim replied woodenly, "Uh,
yeah, I was going to get it, but I got robbed. So, you're money's gone. I'm sorry." Chuck couldn't believe it. A
whole month down the drain. The tears ran down his cheeks.
