Kevin likes cars. He reads about cars in magazines. He watches shows about cars on TV. His mind is full of cars!

He tells his parents, “Please, please, please, could you buy me a car?” “No,” says Kevin’s mom, “You are too young to drive a car. This is dangerous.” “No,” says Kevin’s dad, “A car is very expensive. We can’t buy you a car now.” Kevin is very sad. He wants a car. He wants a fast red sports car!

He decides to build one! He buys books and reads about the subject. He hangs around at the garage(汽车修理厂) and watches the mechanics(机修工) fix the cars. It is very interesting for him and he has a lot of fun.

Finally, he starts building his own car! He tells his parents about it. His father doesn’t believe him. He says it’s too difficult. His mother says she is worried. She doesn’t want him to do anything dangerous.

Kevin smiles and drives away.
