The sun beat down on David as he watched Mr. Finch, his neighbor, meticulously repairing his old, beat-up car. He knew about the stocks, the properties, the secret. David felt a rush of… energy. He couldn't stand idly by.

He grabbed a wrench and strode over to Mr. Finch's driveway, his steps purposeful. He was going to help.

Mr. Finch looked up, startled. "Help? I'm fine."

David shook his head. "No, you're not. Let me."
