[00:07.55]A Ten-Dollar Bill
[00:09.80]Sam waited patiently in the long line at the grocery store.
[00:13.84]He had come to pick up a few items for his mother.
[00:17.06]He often did chores for his parents after school.
[00:20.32]He enjoyed helping out at home.
[00:22.70]As he waited,he daydreamed about the new camera he wanted to buy.
[00:27.56]He wanted to buy it soon because his family was going on a vacation,
[00:32.24]and he wanted to take pictures of their trip.
[00:34.95]These was only one problem.He needed seven more dollars to buy the camera.
[00:40.07]His lawn-mowing job at the Smith's should provide the money shortly.
[00:44.36]Suddenly Sam was roughly shoved aside.
[00:47.54]He recognized Mrs Samders,and unkind and unfriendly person who lived on his block.
[00:53.63]She had shoved in front of him without even smiling.
[00:57.31]Just as Mrs Sanders received her change and her purchases,a ten-dollar bill flew out of her hand and fell at Sam's feet.
[01:05.93]Mrs Sanders,however,was too busy criticizing the cashier for his slowness to notice.
[01:12.10]As Sam bent to pick up the money,he thought quickly.
[01:16.30]The monty did belong to Mrs Sanders,but she deserved to lose it after the way she had behaved,
[01:22.47]and,with it,he could buy the camera.

[02:47.86]"He gave her a small book and said,"Read this carefully and eat the things on page 11 every day.
[02:56.54]Then come back and see me in two weeks'time."
[03:00.06]Miss Green came again two weeks later,but she wasn't thinner:she was fatter.
[03:07.32]The doctor was surprised and said,"Are you eating the things on page 11 of the small book?"
[03:14.32]"Yes,doctor,"she answered.
[03:17.43]The next day the doctor visited Miss Green during her dinner.
