　　here’s the $10you asked for.”

　　the little boy sat straight up, smiling. “oh, thank you daddy!” he yelled. then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. the man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. the little boy slowly counted out his money,

　　then looked up at his father.

　　“why do you want more money if you already have some?” the
