“What will you do with your cash?” asked Kurt.
“I’ll save most of it,” said Kim. “But I’ll spend some on
things I need, like clothing. And I would like to get a bike.”
“You can get a bike if you get a job?”
“Yes.”
Kurt sat thinking of how much fun it would be to ride
bikes with Kim.
“Cool! So, what sort of job will you get?” Kurt asked.
“I can’t tell. That’s why I’m looking at the paper.”
Kurt ate some toast. Then he asked, “Should I get a job,
too?”
Kim smiled. “You are just seven,” she said. “You don’t
need to get a job yet. You should be having fun.”
“But I would like one!” Kurt wailed.
“I’ll tell you what,” Kim said. “You can help me look for a
job. If you see a job you like, then you can get that job when
you are my age.”
