Jack wants to go on the class field trip to Washington, D.C. next year. His
parents will not just give him the money for the trip. His parents will pay for half
of the trip’s cost if he earns the other half of the money himself. Jack has almost
a year to earn $150. Jack earns some money by mowing lawns. By the end of
the summer, Jack has earned $75, but he is only halfway to his goal. He earns
more money by doing odd jobs for his neighbors. When autumn arrives, Jack
counts his money. He still needs $40 for his trip. Jack gets a job delivering
newspapers every Sunday. He earns 10 cents for each paper that he delivers, so
every Sunday, he can earn about $10. Finally, Jack has enough money to go on
the trip to Washington, D.C. He is just in time. The class trip is on October 21.
Jack gets out all of his money from his bank and brings it to school. He feels
great because he knows that his own hard work helped pay for his trip.
