Its getting colder.” Michael nodded. He shivered at the thought of washing cars in this cold weather. “Maybe this isnt a good idea.”“Ill lend you a pair golf gloves, and Ill even help you wash the cars.” Greg said.“Really? Youd help me and let me keep the money?”“Sure. Golf season is over. I wont need the extra money for a while.”Michael asked his parents if he could wash their cars for a small fee. When they agreed, he asked some neighbors, too. Many of them agreed. Michael got some tools. Greg came back outside with the gloves. “Here you are. They might be a little big for you, but theyll keep your hands warm.”“Thanks.” Michael still couldnt believe his brother was helping him make the money like this.After spending the day washing cars, Michael counted the money carefully.“Well?” Greg asked. “Do you have enough money now?”“Yeah.” Michael smiled.“Then lets go to buy it.” Greg drove Michael to the mall.Michael found the game at once, but as he took it off the shelf he saw a golf video game next to it. Michael looked at his brother and thought of how hed helped him make the money in such a cold day.

She didnt answer at once. Then she bowed her head and went on to sew the quilt.I was very worried because I thought I had hurt her. I was in a great embarrassment(尴尬) and I didnt know what to do. But at last I heard my mother say the following words: “Susan,” she said thoughtfully. “Look at this thread. Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt.
