John is fifteen now. He is a middle school student. He lives in a small village and it's about three kilometers from his school. On weekdays John has to get up early in the morning and after a quick breakfast he goes to school. His father wants to borrow some money to buy a bike for him. However, John knows his mother is always ill and his father often spends money on medicine. He doesn't agree with his father and keeps walking to school. Now he's very strong and never late for class. His teachers often praise him.
Last week there was a sports meeting in his school. John ran faster than any other boy and won the boys' 800 meters, 1, 500 meters and 3, 000 meters. The whole school knew him. He told his grandma the good news when he got home.
"I broke two school records（ 记录） today, Granny, " said the boy.
But the old woman wasn't happy. She thought for a while and said, "I'm sorry to hear that.
We have no money to pay for them, you know!"
