    I Want to Buy a Computer Game

    Luis was excited. The new computer game was finally in stores! He wanted it for a long time. "The game is here!" he told his mom. "Can we go and buy it?"

    "How much does it cost?" Luis's mother asked.

    "Thirty﹣five dollars," he answered.

    "That is a lot of money, Luis. Do you have enough to buy it yourself?"

    "No," he shook his head.

    "You know, Luis, we have to use our money carefully. We have to spend on our house and food. We need to buy clothes and books and the gas for the car. Our money goes to things we need."

    "But I really want this game ! " answered Luis. "What can I do?"

    "You can get eight dollars a week for doing our house cleaning as a job," his mom said.

    "Try to keep it. Before long, you will have enough to buy the game."

    "I do not think so," said Luis. "By then, all the games will be sold and there will not be one for me."

    "Try it," answered his mother.

    Weeks later, Luis came home very happy. "Guess what, Mama? I did what you said I kept the money for the game. Then  I saw the game was still in stores. Today I bought it for twenty﹣eight dollars."

    "And," his mother added, "you did it with your own money !"
