Mike was starting the fourth grade in the autumn. He felt that he was old enough to ride a bike to school like other kids. But there were two problems! The first was that he didn't know if his parents would let him ride a bike to school. The second and the bigger of the two problems was that he didn't have a bike, because he and his parents had just moved to the town this summer.

To his surprise, they said, "Sure, Mike, you are old enough, but you don't have a bike!" Mike began to think about how to solve the problem. Finally, he thought of an idea. He asked the neighbors if he could mow (割) their lawns (草坪) to earn money to buy a bike. For all of them needed to mow their lawns, they told Mike that would be fine, if his parents agreed. Mike's parents were pleased that he found a way to buy a bike himself. They agreed and taught Mike how to mow the lawn properly. Finally, he had enough money to buy his bike. He bought a beautiful black and red mountain bike.
