A Stranger Keeps Leaving $$$ Under My Bed

“Derek wake up! Do you know what day it is?” said Tina.

“Ahhh!” I said while wiping the sleep from my eyes. It was my little sister Tina who had started a birthday countdown. Every morning she’d jump on my stomach to tell me how many days were left until her big day.

“Three more days until my birthday! I’m so excited Derek! I can’t wait to open my presents! I know you’ll get me something nice because you’re the best big brother in the world!” she exclaimed.

“Aww my baby sister is gonna be six years old.” I replied while ruffling her hair and giving her a hug. I was smiling but I felt terrible. We are not a wealthy family. In fact, it’s the complete opposite. My mom works at a little bakery and my dad was recently laid off so we have very little. I was given an allowance once in a while but I never had much to spend on anything. I wished I could take my sister to the toy store to let her pick out anything she wanted. She was my only sibling and as an older brother I was very protective. I wanted only the best for her. But I had nothing!

I got out of bed and went to the kitchen to see what was for breakfast. Boring oatmeal porridge again.
“Mom, I’m tired of this.” I groaned.
“Honey, I’m tired of explaining to you that we can’t afford to spend money on exciting breakfasts.” she replied.
“Yes son, you should be grateful that you at least have something to eat. Many people don’t.” my father said sternly.
I sat down and ate quietly. It was true. While I didn’t have much, there were still many who had less and I should at least be grateful.

“Yum!” said Tina. She was adorable. She liked anything.

After I finished breakfast, I took a shower and got ready for school. My parents chose to send me to a private school because they believed it was better. It was costing them an arm and a leg but they decided that our suffering would result in me landing a lucrative career which would eventually ‘make them proud’. Anyway, it was good because at least I got to wear a uniform so my classmates would never know that I had only two or three outfits. Still, it sucked to be the only poor person in the entire school. Almost everyone at that place lived in mansions and had practically everything.

Then there was me, the guy with one uniform because my parents could only afford one. I wore the same one every day.

That morning I was almost completely dressed when I realized I was missing a sock. I searched everywhere for it. It wasn’t in the closet, on the chair, near my desk, anywhere! My last resort was to check under the bed. As I knelt and peeped at the darkness, I noticed a crisp fifty dollar bill on the floor next to an old shoebox.

“What?” I thought. “I’ve never been able to save that much my whole life so where did this come from?” I picked it up and without a second thought, I shoved it into my pocket. I was so excited that I ran out of the house and was just in time to catch the bus. Luckily, my pants were long enough to hide the fact that I was still missing a sock!

My day was quite uncomfortable (have you ever tried walking around with a missing sock?) but I caught up with my best pal Miles at lunch time.

“Did you finish the Math homework? I’ve been playing video games all weekend so I didn’t get a chance. Let me copy yours.” he demanded.
