Saving for My First Guitar

I have wanted a real guitar for almost a year. The one at the music store costs 120 dollars — more than I have ever saved.

I started doing extra chores at home for pocket money. I also walked my neighbor's dog twice a week for ten dollars each time.

Last weekend I finally counted my jar: 128 dollars. Dad drove me to the store and I came home with a shiny brown guitar and sore fingers from my first chord.
