　　Bill was fourteen years old and in the ninth grade. He had a part-time job, which got him up at five o'clock. He was a newspaper boy.

　　Each morning, Bill left the houses at five fifteen to go to the corner. The newspapers had been sent to the corner by truck at midnight. He always rode a bike to carry them.

　　In winter it was still dark when he got up, but during the rest of the year it was bright. Bill had to send the newspapers to the houses of people in all kinds of weather, he tried to put each paper in the box where it would be kept safe from wind and rain or snow. His customers thought he did a good job. Sometimes they gave him tips.

　　Bill made about $ 70 each month, and he was saving some of the money to go to college. He spent the rest on tapes and clothes. Once a month he had to get the money from his customers together.
