Hesitating for a moment, Noah put his freezing hands into his pocket, his fingers brushing against the 20 dollars bill, and he felt a wave of guilt rising in his heart. At the thought of Mrs. Williams's words "in your capable hands", Noah turned and said to Lucas firmly, "We can't quit. We want the bike and we must earn it in the right way." Stuck by his brother's determination and honesty, Lucas hesitated but eventually picked up his shovel.Bitterly cold as the weather was, the boys kept clearing the heavy snow. A few hours witnessed their hard work. Shovelful by shovelful, the driveway was gradually cleared.
No sooner had Mrs Williams stepped out of the car than she noticed the driveway cleared. Seeing the cleared driveway and the two boys' red face and hands numbed, she was deeply moved. "I didn't expect you to finish it in such weather! You did an excellent job!" she praised, handing them an extra dollars for reward, and quickly gave them two cups of hot water. Mrs Williams recommended the two boys to her neighbour. With her help, the boys kept working here and finally saved enough money to buy the bike. Seeing the bike they bought through honest, hard work, they smiled. Although the winter was freezing, but their heart was forever warmed by the sweet fruit of work.
