Eva proudly waved the two five-dollar bills for her parents to see. She had earned the money by helping a neighbor rake leaves. Eva put the money in her pocket. Later in the day, she tucked the bills inside the library book she was reading. Eva wasn't usually forgetful. She was having a busy week, though. She completely forgot about putting the money in the book.
A few days after returning the library book, Eva remembered the ten dollars. She went to the library. "That book has been checked out again," said the woman at the library. Eva asked who had the book. The woman wasn't allowed to say. Eva sighed and trudged home, certain that the money was gone forever.
Later, her friend Lilly came over to work on a school project. Lilly told Eva about a very funny library book she was reading. It was titled Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing.
Eva's eyes got big. Eva asked if Lilly had the book with her. Lilly pulled the book out of her backpack. Eva held the book upside down and fanned its pages. Out fluttered two five-dollar bills.
