At that time I was twelve years old.A young lady was working that day. She gave me five loaves and wished me good luck. I took the loaves and went to sell them. It took me all day, but I sold every one. At the end of the day, I had more money than I’d ever had before. I was the happiest boy in the world as I walked home that evening.The next day, I went to a bicycle shop. I paid a deposit(定金) on a new bicycle. And then I started my next job - as a newspaper delivery boy. Soon I had enough money to complete the payments and the bike was mine. I was so proud.Today I still work in the delivery business(物流企业). I have many trucks which deliver goods all over Europe. I live m a beautiful house, but I don't ride a bicycle these days - I drive a large and comfortable car.I don't know who that young lady was.
