It was yard sale time again, and everyone in the Jones family was getting ready.

Billy, the youngest, was clearing out his old toys. He put several old robots and games in his yard sale box. He also found some clothes that didn’t fit.

Suzy, the middle child, decided to part with some stuffed animals (毛絨玩具) from her collection. She also found some old books.

Regina, the eldest, had music CDs and some clothes to sell. She had the most clothes of the children to sell.

Dad had many things he could part with: some tools, some records he didn’t listen to, some computer parts and a few old jackets and suits.

Mum had a few things to sell. She chose some handbags, some shoes and some clothes. She also found some old dishes.

Together, the five of them set up their tables and the sale began at 7:30 a.m. People came early and the buying and selling was fierce. They hardly had time to take a rest. Many people brought young children, so Billy did well. He sold out his toys quickly. Girls liked Suzy’s stuffed animals, and a few teenagers bought most of Regina’s music CDs. Mum and Dad had the most things, so they took longer to sell them, but they also made more money.

In the end, Billy made $22, Suzy made $18 and Regina made $43. Mum and Dad made a bit more. Dad made $143 and Mum made $97. It was quite a good day.
