| Scott was not happy. He had no money left to buy the new toy train he wanted. Suddenly, he had an idea! "I'll ask my brother Alan if I can borrow some money. He always has money to lend people." Scott found Alan in his room. "Alan, may I borrow $20 from you to buy myself a new train?" Alan replied, "I just spent all of my money on Mom's birthday present. I have no money left. You are barking up the wrong tree." Scott was very disappointed. He decided to get a job. He went to many stores, but no one had a job for him. He walked and walked from store to store.
