Explanation:
In the story "Ted's Champion", Ted was determined to keep the horse though his father decided to sell it. When his mother suggested him that he could find some chores in the neighbourhood so that he earn enough to keep Olly, he immediately starts looking for work without any hesitation.
The lines "Over the next few weeks, Ted visited every local store in search of work. He was willing to do anything to help" remind the readers that Ted was fully determined to work for Olly's sake.
Also when Ted says “But I won’t give him up. No, I won’t do it.”, the readers can understand how much he loved Olly and how strong he was determined to do anything to keep Olly.
The phrase "was really looking forward to it", have a Merry Christmas!
