When walking she looks up, down, or sideways, never where shes going. One day, she spotted, partly covered by leaves and litter, a 100 bill. She looked to see if anyone was watching and bent down to crumple (弄皱) the bill in her tiny hand. Sliding it into her jacket pocket, she took another guilty look and then hurried off to school. Her day was spent watching her jacket hung on the wall by the door. During lunch, she took it off and ran to the far side of the playground to pull out the crumpled bill and stare at it and see that it was real and belonged to her. When some older kids wandered by, she put it back into her pocket quickly and rushed back into the classroom. It wasnt until she was riding home on the school bus that she started to wonder about whom the bill had belonged to before it came to be hers.“Probably somebody rich，” she thought. “Why else would he be so careless with 100 bills？” She imagined a tall man in a fine wool jacket walking to his big car and pulling out a roll of money, not noticing one bill drifting (飘) to the ground. Putting the roll back in his pocket, he climbed into his car and drove away. Just then, a wind blew some leaves to cover most of the lost bill. But, then she thought, what if the bill had been a present for his little niece with her grandma because her parents were killed in a car crash? Shed have treasured that 100 bill because it came from her generous uncle. And shed be dreaming, even now if she hadnt realized shed lost it, of all the toys and treats that the bill could buy.
