Jimmy Pulaski

Hello, readers! Today I would like to tell you about Jimmy Pulaski. He runs the kids' bike repair station. Not only does he sell fake gas and fill up tires with air, he sells candy that he makes himself! He makes yogurt fruit strips, dried fruit, maple syrup and molasses candy, ice cream bars, and even chocolate bars! He has worked on the corner of School Street since last year. The largest amount he earned is $3.00. He sells gas for nothing and air and candy are one cent each. A repair cost a nickel, which leaves the average day being $.50. Oiling and new brakes is along with the repair section. Anyway, he isn't the richest kid in the world, but he acts cool. His business isn't twenty-four hours long, because he has school. Once school's out, he rushes to his stand and looks out for bikes. His father is a bike repairman also. Jimmy always wanted a bike, but his father didn't have the money. Him and his father are doing the best they can to raise money for a bike for three. His mother stays home and tends to the housework. Jimmy doesn't like it when people call him 'lame'. Mary Hillings likes Jimmy. She takes her bike to the repair station just so she can talk with him. Jimmy isn't your typical chick walking down the street. Everybody knows him like he's the mayor. The kids don't think of him as one of them. They think of him as the businessman. He likes to make friends. He's friends with nearly everybody. I would love to tell you more about Mr. Pulaski, but I've got school. I'll be back in twenty-four hours! Emma out!
