Mum: So what? Mine’s much older 1 than yours and it’s still okay. Toby: Mum, all my friends have got cooler bikes. Theirs are 2 than mine, because they’ve got more gears, and they are 3 too, only about 10 kg! Mine is 4 than theirs. It weighs 14 kg, you see. Actually, mine’s the 5 of all. So they are always much 6 than me. It’s no fun always being the 7 of all. Mum: Don’t you have some money left in your piggy bank? Toby: I do, but not enough.
