Ah yes, another week of silly escapades, with our friends from the Silly Nomads. When we left off, Nigel found out that his bike was broken. He was devastated because on Saturday, he had a race.
When his friends tell him they’re going to take the bike to Mr. Burke, Nigel knows that he’ll be able to fix it in time for his race. When they take it to Mr Burke they find out it will cost around eight dollars. Mr. Burke lowers the price to four dollars and seventy-five cents. As they walk away leaving Mr Burke to fix the bike, they brainstorm ideas to get the three dollars and seventy-five cents needed to pay for the bike to get fixed.
They decide to walk through the neighbourhood and collect empty bottles and cans to sell to the store. Raising only two dollars and seventy-five cents Nadih and Suhcrom go to Mr.C-Ton’s junkyard to see if they can find any bike parts to make up for the one dollar they don’t have.
They end up getting chased out of the junkyard by a dog before they can get a chance to properly look through it all. The brothers bring the money they have to Mr. Burke. He knows they worked hard to get the money, so he tells them it’s okay and that they don’t have to worry about getting one more dollar.
At the race, all of Nigel’s friends are there cheering him on and being part of his team. With his friends ferociously cheering him on, Nigel pulls ahead coming in first place and winning the race.
You see; with a little determination and creativity, the two brothers were able to find a solution to their problems. Anything is possible if you try.
