The Penny
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010An elderly man walks down the street when he notices a penny lying on the sidewalk. He stoops over slowly, feeling pain in his back as he picks it up. Smiling proudly as his prize, he proclaims “Today my luck has changed, for soon I will be a rich man.” as he places the penny in his pocket. As he takes a step, a penny rolls down the inside of his pant-leg, over his shoe and comes to rest on the sidewalk, where the old man notices it and stoops over slowly to pick it up.
