An old man who lived in a small back street of my hometown had to tolerate the nuisance of boys playing football and making a lot of noise outside his house at night.

One evening when the boys were particularly  41  ，he went out to talk to them. He explained that he had just   42   and was happy when he could see or hear boys playing his  43  game—football. He would  44  give them $25 each week to play in the street at night. The boys got  45  ，for they could hardly believe  46   they were being paid to do something they  47  .

The first two weeks had passed，the boys came to the old man’s house each weekend，and went away  48  with their $25. The third week when they came back,  49  ，the old man said he hadn’t had much money  50  himself and sent them away with only $15. The fourth week，the man said he had not yet received his   51  from the government and gave them only $10. The boys were very disappointed，but there was  52  much that they could do about it.

At the  53  of the fifth week，the boys came back and  54  at the old man’s door，waiting for their  55  . Slowly，the door opened and the old man appeared. He   56  that he could not afford to pay them $25  57   he had promised，but said he would give them $5 each week without  58  .

This was really too much for the boys. “You expect us to play seven days a week for merely $5！”They yelled.“  59  ！”

They  60  away and never played on the street again.
