Last month, my older brother won second place in a hot dog-eating contest. To

win, he had to eat the most hot dogs. Well, my brother ate lots and lots of hot dogs—

most of the people competing found it impossible to eat as many. At the closing

ceremony, my brother was given a ton of money (one thousand in cash) and a trophy

of a golden hot dog. My brother slipped the money in his pocket and smiled modestly

as people took his snapshot. It was a fine moment for my brother.
