Jack and Bill,both seven years old,were neighbours.They wanted to raise money (筹钱) for the SPCA.One day they took five scones (烤饼) each to sell m the market together.
Before they started,their mothers told them not to eat the scones or not to give them to any of their friends.They told the two boys that they must sell each scone for five yuan,The two boys agreed first.But later,they wanted to sell them for ten yuan each so that (以便) they could raise more money for the SPCA.Of course,the price was very high.
Hours had passed,but only Bill sold one scone to an old woman who wanted to help the boy.She enjoyed the scone and said,"It is delicious,but it is much too expensive." Later Bill felt rather hungry.But he had to keep his promise.He could not eat any of his scones.He was getting hungrier and hungrier.Then he had an idea.He took his ten yuan and bought a scone from Jack.He was now eating the scone happily.When Jack saw that,he felt hungry,too,So he took his ten yuan to buy one of Bill's scones.Surely Bill was not full yet.He bought another scone from Jack….So it went on until all the scones were sold out and eaten up.
