Curiously, I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the 4 . Then I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful, crisp $20 bill! 5 I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.I held the money in my hand, staring at the number “20” and feeling 6 than I ever had.

So I told my mom what had happened. “Well look for him.” she said kindly. We rushed out and found him stepping into his car in the parking lot! We 8 him and asked whether he had left money at the cash machine. “Let me 9 ,” he said, pulling out his wallet and bills. “Twenty, forty, eightyOh!
