"Mom can we go to the zoo". Patrick hollered.

No, we do not have the money". Patrick's family is a very poor and they were losing money fast. The economy has been very heart breaking to there family. With the three kids that they have it's kind of hard. Patrick is a ten year old boy that has to brothers. They are all three triplets and are a great team, most of the time.

"Mom, I am getting sick of us not being able to do some of the fun things that my friends do." Griped Patrick. He was getting really tired of not being able to do the fun things that his friends did. If their was a new movie out all of his friends went and saw it. But he couldn't because their was not enough money. He was always entertaining himself and never got to have some real fun. Patrick never got to be a real boy and have the fun like his friends did.

",THATS IT, I am going to the library to do some research on how to get some money". Patrick was so fed up with it and just wanted to have some real fun and get away for a little while.

"Fine, but you have to be back by dinner. You also have to take one of your brothers, if not both". His mother hollered. So Patrick went up to there room and found both of the boys. He first tried to get Kyle to go and then was going to get Luke.

"Me. Why do you all the sudden want to go to the library? You never want to go to the library, what is going on Patrick"? Kyle wondered. He was sitting in there room reading because their was nothing else to do.

"Here is the thing I am getting tired of, not having money so I am going to go see if their is something I can do to get money. If their is something that we have that is worth a lot of money, I will find out. We are all getting sick of it right"? Kyle nodded. He was tired of it too, they had to stay home and be board all day. It had been months since they had ice cream or went out to dinner.

So the boys gathered up the most valuable things that they had and went to the library. They took an old coin, a seventeen century clock that they had found in an ally, and a towel from nineteen seventeen. Once they got to the library they did some research on the old and mysterious stuff.

"OK guys lets get one of the computers before anyone else does. We will first check the clock then the towel then the coin". Patrick announced. The boys got a computer and looked up the clock and found an exact match that had all of the info they needed. It said that the clock was about one hundred years old and worth about five dollars. It was a little disappointing but they checked the towel. The internet said that it was worth about five dollars as well. The three boys were really depressed but they had a little time to kill so they looked up the coins history. It took about five minutes to find the coin then it took another two minutes to find the info on it.

"OK it is from sixteen forty five and worth ten million dollars. **TEN MILLION DOLLARS, WE ARE GOING TO BE THE RICHEST FAMILY IN NEBRASKA!** Patrick shouted. All three of the boys mouths dropped, they were blown away when it said ten million dollars. They ran home to tell there parents that they were going to be rich. They took some info so that there would have to believe them. . Once the boys got home and showed there parents the info that got from the library there mom and dad nearly fainted with happiness. "We are going to the auction tomorrow and making our own table. You are allowed to go and sell what ever you want their". The kids mom said. The family agreed in major excitement.

The next morning at the auction their was tons of people around there table. Their was about one hundred people in line around them. Every body wanted there coin.

After about four hours of bidding a collector from Maine had made a final offer and won the coin. He bought it for ten million, two hundred ninety six thousand dollars. The guy was satisfied with his coin and the family was jumping for joy with all of there money and just thinking about there future.
