Joe is a 14-year-old boy who wants to go to camp very much. His father promised him he could go if he saved up the money for it himself. So Joe worked hard at his paper route and saved up the $60 it costs to go to camp, and a little more besides. But just before the camp fees came due, his father changed his mind. Joe's father was short of the money it would cost to go on a special fishing trip with some of his friends, so he told Joe to give him the money he had saved from the paper route. Joe doesn't want to give up going to camp, so he thinks of refusing to give his father the money.
