Question

There was a big garden in front of Jeff’s house. So on weekends, many children came to play soccer from morning to late night. They made a lot of noise(噪音), but Jeff couldn’t do anything.

He thought hard and hard and had an idea. One Saturday evening, he went out and said to them, “It is my happy time when I see and hear you playing here.   So I will give you fifty yuan a week if you play in the garden here.”

The children felt very happy and on Saturday evening they came to Jeff’s house and asked for the money. He did so. The second week, Jeff said he didn’t have enough money and only gave them twenty yuan. The third week Jeff said he lost his job, but he gave them only ten yuan. And the boys were very disappointed.
