Gift Horse (2003)
“She knew exactly how much money was in her pocket. She hoped it would be enough.
All week she’d been thinking of hazelnut hot chocolate, because she and Dad had been planning this drive and he’d promised to stop for the fancy drink if she paid for it. She’d brought a little extra money, too, because it was February and she’d hoped the coffee store would have the little Valentine conversation hearts Gram loved so much.
Sam slipped the five-dollar bill and two ones out of her pocket and held them... for a few seconds. She still had weeks to buy the Valentine candy for Gram.
Sam extended the money toward Mr. Fairchild.
“I don’t know if this shows how earnest I am,” Sam said. “But it’s all I’ve got.”
Mr. Fairchild took the wrinkled bills and smoothed them out.
“What do you think of this plan?” he asked. “In four weeks you will have sold the horse so we can split the profit, or he comes back here and we’ll see what we can get for him in his improved condition.” Mr.MoreLess
