Leslie felt a wave of regret and thought, "Louis gave me the money so easily, a whole million without even hesitating. And now I'm cut off just like that. What a bummer. At least today wasn't a complete loss. I've got the million, and I can pay off my debts."
Ten minutes later, Leslie's son Peter hurried to help him up from the ground. They got into their car parked nearby, and Peter started the engine. As they turned a corner, they saw a bank.
"Stop the car!" Leslie yelled urgently. Peter hit the brakes and pulled over.
Leslie took a bank card from his wallet and handed it to Peter. "Take this card and see if there's a million in the account."
Peter's eyes sparkled with excitement as he took the card. "Are we finally getting the money?"
