One of the best gifts I ever received was a bottomless wallet. When I first got it, I thought the money inside it was the best thing in the world, but instead, I discovered what the real gift was.
One day, I found an abandoned wallet on the street and opened it. Nothing was inside. My friend, standing across from me, said, “Wouldn’t it be nice if you had a thousand dollars in there?”
“Yes, but it’s empty,” I said, opening the wallet again to show her, and saw several bills inside. Hundreds of hundred dollar bills, totaling a thousand dollars. “I can’t believe it!” I exclaimed.
“It’s magic!” My friend took the money out of my hand. “I’m buying a purse and some jewelry,” she said. “I can finally afford to!” And she ran off.
“Hey, wait for us!” I said. Stunned, I stared at the empty wallet in my hand.
“What if there’s a hundred-dollar bill in there?” My other friend was still standing around.
“No way.”
She took the wallet from my hand, opened it, and pulled out a hundred-dollar bill.
“Maybe you should ask for more money,” I said.
“No, this is enough,” she smiled. “Want to go get some food? Let’s celebrate our good luck with a fancy dinner,” she said.
