A place for skateboarding

Robert's dad worked in the park in their town. He looked after the park, and he grew all the

flowers there. The flowers looked wonderful every summer, and hundreds of people visited the

park to see them.

Robert and his friend Paul loved skateboarding around the park. But there was a problem.

They had to be careful of the people who were walking on the paths, and when the park was

busy, the boys couldn't go skateboarding there because it was too dangerous.

Last spring, Robert and his dad were talking. 'We need a special place for skateboarding in the

park,' Robert said. Dad agreed, but added 'I'm sorry, Robert, the park hasn't got enough
money for that.' 'We'll get the money!' said Robert.

Robert and Paul collected hundreds of old plastic cups from the park's café, and grew flowers

in them. Robert's dad helped them. Then, every Saturday, they sold them to all the people who

came to the park. The boys collected lots of money, but not enough.

Then, in July, a journalist wrote a story about Robert and his friend in their town's online

newspaper, which she worked for. A very kind, rich businesswoman read the story, and thought

it was fantastic. She gave the park enough money to build a brilliant place for skateboarding.
