But something did stop me. It didn’t seem possible. It didn’t seem like the
right way to end things. I was being tricked. Fate had cheated me. It wasn’t
fair, and I lowered my head and wept loudly. It wasn’t fair!
I had been a millionaire for only a short time. Just like so many others, I

Johnstown , IL 60622Dear Bill,
I finally bought the new car I’ve been talking about. I was able to get a loan
from my local bank , and together with what I’ve saved, I was able to get the car.
It is bright red and looks fantastic.
When fall comes, I want to take a drive to New England. I’ve heard that the
autumn foliage is spectacular. And it will be a good opportunity to try out my new
car. Maybe you’ll have the time to come with me.
I had hoped to ask my brother to join me on the trip, but he was in a skiing
accident last winter, and his leg hasn’t yet healed properly. Although he’s still on
crutches, he’s able to go to work.Yours truly ,
