短文改错

When I was in high school， most of my friend had bicycles. I hoped I could also have it. One day I saw a second-hand bicycle that was only one hundred yuan. I asked my father the money. But he says he could only give me half of the money. He should find the other half myself. So I went to sell newspapers after the school. My father was pleased if I showed him the money a month later and giving me the other fifty. You can imagine what happy I was when I rode to school in my own bicycle.
