The
Man
With
the
Money
Larry
had
been
living
on
the
streets
for
two
days
strait.
Larry
is
stuck
wearing
tattered
brown
clothes.
After
spending
two
long
days
on
the
street
Larry
skeptically
thought
that
he
had
a
better
chance
making
money
betting
than
he
did
on
the
streets.
With
the
money
that
he
had
he
could
buy
a
few
days
of
food
and
water
but
he
instead
walked
across
the
street
and
took
his
chances
in
the
bar.
The
bartender
shouted,
Hey
Larry.
Larry
responded
by
saying,
Hi
Sam.
Larry
walked
over
to
the
slot
machines
in
the
gambling
area.
He
then
slid
twenty-five
cents
into
the
machine.
He
pulled
the
lever
and
prayed.
The
inside
of
the
slot
machine
came
to
a
stop,
he
had
lost.
Larry
dragged
himself
away
from
the
slot
machine
area
and
to
the
poker
area
where
he
would
take
his
chances
next.
When
Larry
arrived
at
the
table
the
person
running
the
table
had
a
scowl
on
his
face.
Larry
asked,
Why
do
you
look
so
mad.
The
worker
replied,
A
man
just
stole
139$
right
off
the
poker
table.
As
Larry
ran
out
the
door
he
yelled,
Which
way
did
he
go?
There
was
no
reply
from
the
worker.
Larry
looked
left
and
right
then
straight
ahead.
Out
of
the
corner
of
his
eye
he
saw
a
man
wearing
a
black
coat,
big
boots,
and
money
falling
out
of
his
pockets.
Larry
sprinted
after
the
man
until
he
caught
up
to
him.
Larry
tackled
him
and
all
of
the
money
he
had
stolen
fell
out
of
his
pockets.

Where
did
you
get
this
money?
Larry
asked
the
man.
I
found
it
on
the
ground!
the
timorous
man
fabricated.
How
could
you
find
all
of
this
money
on
the
ground?
Larry
exclaimed.
The
man
didnt
respond
so
Larry
walked
him
back
to
the
bar.
Is
this
the
man
that
stole
the
money?
Larry
asked
the
person
working
at
the
bar.
Yes
this
is
the
man
The
bar
worker
replied.
The
bar
tender
gave
Larry
back
forty
dollars
of
the
money
the
man
had
stolen
from
the
bar.
Larry
left
the
bar
with
the
plethora
of
money
he
had
just
received
and
walked
to
the
nearest
train
station.
At
the
train
station
Larry
asked
the
person
selling
tickets
How
much
is
one
ticket
to
Oklahoma?
The
vendor
replied
Twenty
five
dollars.
Can
I
buy
one
ticket
to
Oklahoma?
Larry
asked
as
he
handed
over
the
money.
The
vendor
received
the
money
and
handed
over
the
ticket.
Larry
then
took
the
ticket
and
looked
when
the
train
was
arriving.
A
few
hours
later
the
train
pulled
slowly
into
the
station.
Larry
boarded
the
train
and
stat
down
as
a
throng
of
people
came
in
through
the
hallway.
After
multiple
days
of
riding
on
the
train,
Larry
arrived
in
his
hometown,
Kelly,
Oklahoma.
He
quickly
located
his
home
even
after
all
the
years
of
being
away.
He
quickly
moved
to
the
front
door
with
an
entranced
look
on
his
face
as
he
knocked
on
the
door
