The One-Dollar God

___________________________________

"Here's a dollar bill for you, Helen." Aunt Emily said.
"Thank you, Aunt Emily," Helen said.
"Spend it wisely," her aunt added.


"I'll show you a magic trick for one dollar," a man said to Helen.
"My aunt told me to spend it wisely," Helen said. 




"Really?" The man asked. "Then I have exactly what you're looking for."




"It's a wooden god that can give you a lot of money," the man said.
"Then why are you giving it away for only one dollar?" Helen asked.


 "The wooden god gives you a lot of money in time but I need a dollar right now," the man said.




"That doesn't sound very wise to me," Helen said and left.
