B
Once there was a beautiful big red wagon in the window of a toy store. Billy and George often came to the store window to look at the toys. Among them, the boys liked the red wagon best.
"I have got many toys, but I wish I had that wagon," said Billy. "I could use it for so many things."
"I wish it were mine," said George. "I would play with it all day."
One day George's mother called, "I need some butter. Will you go to the store for me?"
"Wait a minute, Mom," said George. "I want to play for a while." But he had such a good time that he forgot all about going to the store.
The very same day Billy's mother said, "Billy, I need some vegetables and fruits from the store. Will you get them for me, please?" "Yes, Mom," answered Billy. "I'll go right now."
When Billy went past George's house, George called, "Come here, Billy. Let's play together."
"I can't stop now," answered Billy. "I'll play with you after I come back."
That evening Billy helped his father clean up the leaves. They put them together, carried them to the garden and burned them.
"I could do more work," said Billy, "if I had a big red wagon."
George's father was cleaning up leaves, too. He needed a helper, but George was in the park playing with a ball.
The two boys would often meet at the toy store. One day when they saw the big red wagon, it had a green card that said SOLD on it. The boys walked home slowly. They felt sad. They wondered who would get it.
Next morning Billy's mother called, "Billy! Wake up! Wake up!"
Billy opened his eyes. He saw something in his room that made him completely awake.
There was the big red wagon! It had a card on it, but this one did not say SOLD. It said, "Happy Birthday to a good helper who needs a red wagon."
