Piece of Paper
He thought it was a piece of paper that someone dropped on the pavement and then forgot about. An icy chill blew past and caught it, which made it dance and flutter along the sidewalk. He did not know why he did it, but Elmer knew the piece of paper was going to be important to his destiny. He walked right up to the piece of paper and caught it with his freezing hands. He nearly blacked out when he saw what had been written on the slip.
Unbelievable
He looked at it some more and realized that it was actually what he thought it was. His tired mind was not playing any tricks on him! Someone dropped this thing, which could make his dreams become a reality. What was it? Well, it was a signed check with a vacant line for the name of the beneficiary. What surprised him about this was the huge amount that was written on the paper.
