“Oh my gosh!” said Maria, her voice high-pitched and breathless. She bounced on the balls of her feet as she watched the gardener pull away from Mrs. Gable’s house in a brand-new pick-up truck. Mrs. Gable, the woman who always wore the same overalls and tended to her roses herself, was rolling in money.

She imagined what she would do if she had such unlimited financial possibilities. She grabbed her sketch pad, her mind racing with ideas, thoughts, and plans.

She picked up a crayon, her hand itching to draw, and started sketching the building, her mind racing with excitement and joy.
