BR: 1-19 Pocket Money

Kipper was cross with Biff. "Why didn't you take that money?" he asked. "I would have." Chip loooked thoughtful. "I'm not sure what I would have done," he said. Dad smiled at Biff. "I'm very proud of you, Biff," he said. "I think you were right not to take the money," agreed Mum.

Today I read Pocket Money. Pocket Money is book in the Oxford Reading Tree series. This is the story about a girl and pocket money.
One day, a family came to camp. Dad asked for children to do a lot of job. If they do the job, Dad would give some money. The children did some job reluctantly.
On the way back they stopped ata shop. Biff, Chip and Kipper had time to look round. The shop sold all kinds of things. Biff saw some fossils for sale. Biff wanted to buy the fossils. But she needs the extra pocket money. Back at the camp, Biff had an idea. She did everyone's job. Dad saw Biff did everyone's job. He wanted everyone to do the job.
Biff was still upset when they went to the beach the next day. "Come on, Biff," called Dad. Biff, Chip and Kipper played in the sea. They had a little plastic dinghy and they took turns to sit in it. After they came to a little rocky cove. Some people were in the cove. A camera team was doing a fashion shoot. They came back the sand. And Biff and Chip took Mum the cove. Then Biff pointed to something on a rock. It was camera. But the cove was filling with water. Biff had an idea. Biff rescue the camera in the dinghy. Biff got to the camera just in time. At the moment the photgrapher ran up. Biff held up it for her. Then the photgrapher wanted to give Biff some money. But Biff couldn't take the money. Dadand Mum thought trhat very proud of Biff. Next day, Dad gave Biff, Chip and Kipper some extra money. So Biff bought the fossils.
I think Biff is really good child. If I were Biff I might take the money from the photgrapher. Because I want to buy the fossils. But Biff didn't. Biff is polite child.
