Alvin wanted a new laptop, oh yes he did! His old one was so slow, it made him feel sad. "I can't ask my parents," he thought. "They don’t have jobs. Maybe Uncle Todd can help!" So off he went to Uncle Todd’s house, dreaming of games and school work on a shiny, new laptop. His heart raced as he imagined it!
When Alvin arrived, Uncle Todd’s house was like a giant castle, with three stories and a pretty chandelier. "Would you like something to eat?" Uncle Todd asked with a smile. "No, thanks! I already ate," Alvin replied. He felt nervous, not knowing what to say next. "My laptop is really old and I need a new one for school... my parents can’t help me right now," he finally admitted. Uncle Todd nodded and handed Alvin $800. He couldn't believe it! He jumped for joy! "Wow, thank you, Uncle Todd!" he shouted.
Alvin was so happy he could hardly stand still. When he got home, his mom saw him jumping around. "Why are you so happy, Alvin?" she asked, surprised. "Oh, just... happy to see you!" he replied, trying not to make her feel bad. But deep down, he couldn’t wait to buy that new laptop!
