I’ve always wanted a scooter. I used to go to the park and see kids bigger than me do tricks with theirs, and I wanted one too. My parents wouldn’t buy me one and started explaining to me the value of money and how I needed to work for the money required to buy a scooter.

Finally, I decided it was time to start getting my own money, so I offered to do all the chores that I could, not only for my family, but for some of the neighbors as well. It wasn’t easy, and I worked hard for the money, but there seemed that I would never have enough for the model I wanted.

Even if it wasn’t the one I longed for, I was very proud of it, so I called all my friends to come and see it. They weren’t quite interested at first, but after a few days they came to try it on. They started with a short ride in the backyard, and in no time at all they fell for it, and wanted to have their own scooter, so that they wouldn’t have to share, and fight for mine.

That was just the start. They came to me for advice, and even when they needed some small fixes to their scooters. In no time I had the money for my dream scooter: the Fuzion Asphalt Ultimate Carving Scooter, the best scooter ever made. That was exactly what I needed for trying those tricks I used to envy the older kids for. My scooter became the star of the neighborhood kids, and I was really proud of it. Nobody had a scooter like mine, or could do the thing I could do with it.

Now I spend all my time at the park, doing tricks with my new scooter, and showing off to my friends. It isn’t as difficult as I had originally thought, and I’m very happy to use something I bought with my own money. My parents are pleased with me as well, and say I’ve earned it.
