I said, “Hello, I just found a briefcase on my front porch. It’s got all these bills in it. It’s not mine; I want to do the right thing.”
The officer replied, “How much is in there?”
“I’m not sure. I only counted about half.”
“Give me a minute.” She mumbled as her fingers blurred. “Ninety-eight, ninety-nine, one hundred… Sir, there’s a hundred thousand dollars here.”
“Oh, my! Well, I hope the owner claims it!”
When I arrived home, I checked the remaining stacks and did the math again. Yep, one million minus nine hundred thousand definitely equals one hundred thousand.
Great.
If only…
wow … I wait for someone to leave such a bag outside my house!
Very nice surprise at the end. Quite unexpected, at least by me. Nice work, Stephan.
Thank you Dianne.
Ended on a high note.
