thankfully gratefully tearfully
The first two weeks had passed;the boys came to the old man's house, and went away  [MASK]  with their 25 dollars.The third week when they came back,  however  ,the old man said he hadn't much money  1cft  himself and sent them away with only 15 dollars.The fourth week, the man said he hadn't yet received his  paycheck  from the govertnment and gave them only 10 dollars.The boys were disappointed,but there was  not  much that they could do about it.
