Tractors Are Not Just for Farmers by Morgan

My email pal, Harley, asked me about my parents’ jobs. My parents own a tractor service. 

Harley: Does that mean they repair tractors for other people? 
No, but they do repair their own tractors. The first used tractor they bought was in total disrepair. They had to rebuild and repaint it. Now, it appears to be a new tractor. 

Harley: Are they farmers?
No. Wait, let me ____________  that answer. They aren’t farmers, but they do lots of things to help farmers. They clear and grade land for new homes or parking lots. If there is a large tree stump in the way, they can also help ____________  it. Dad likes to compare it to pulling teeth because the hard part is the roots. 

Harley: So, does your mother drive tractors, too?
Yes, they both share all the chores including the inside and outside work. My dad says, “You can tell when I’m driving. I’m the one with the beard.”

Harley: Inside work? What do they do with tractors inside?
Inside work means office work like adding what is paid in and _____________  ing  what is paid out. That’s how they find out if they made a profit. They also have a website to ____________  customers. 

Harley: Do you ever get to drive the tractors? 
No, I never ride on them. My parents say that I could _____________  them. Harley: Your parents’ jobs sound cool compared to mine. They are airplane pilots. That sounds exciting to me. Do you get to fly the planes
