　　Bill was fourteen years old and in the ninth grade．He had a part-time job which got him up at five o’clock．He was a newspaper boy．

　　Each morning, Bill left the house at five fifteen to go to the center．The newspapers were delivered there by a truck at midnight．He carried them on his bike．

　　In the winter it was still dark when he got up．But during the rest of the year it was bright．Bill had to deliver the newspapers to his customers’(訂戶)houses in all kinds of weather．He tried to put each paper in the box where it was safe from wind, rain and snow．His customers thought he did a good job．Sometimes they gave him tips(小費)．

　　Bill made about ＄70 each month and he was saving some of the money to go to college．He spent the rest on tapes and clothes．Once a month he had to collect money from his customers．Since many of them worked during the day, Bill had to get the money at night．Sometimes when Bill was ill, his elder brother had to deliver the newspapers．Once his father had to help him．

　　Bill has 70 customers now, but he hopes to get more soon．Some day, when he has many more customers, perhaps Bill will win a prize for being a very good newspaper boy．He wants to win a visit to Europe(歐洲), but he would be happy enough if he won a new bike．
