...but here's mine!
195 – image of a hundred dollar bill in the grass, a small
wicker basket, a canning jar, a padlock, a large praying mantis, a box turtle.
Tommy scrutinised the hundred dollar bill Max had placed in
the grass.
"You sure you wanna bet that? Your Grandma gave you
that."
"This is a sure win," said Max. Tommy had agreed
to this 'fight to the finish' because Max was such an arsehole, boasting in
front of Emily, Max's sister, that his praying mantis was the strongest. It
was. Twice the age and double the size. Max had a large praying mantis, no
doubt about it, but Tommy couldn't let it go. So they made this bet.
Tommy took the canning jar he transported his meagre insect
out from his rucksack and placed it down.
"Where's your money?" asked Max.
"You'll get it, if you win. Don't you worry." But
he did. There was no way he could get one hundred dollars.
Max grinned and pulled out a small padlocked wicker basket
from his rucksack. Laughing, Max took off the padlock and opened the lid. His
face went white.
"What?" asked Tommy.
Pausing for a second, Max grabbed his hundred dollar bill
and scarpered away. Tommy looked inside the basket and saw Emily's box turtle.
She'd done a switch. Max would never hear the end of this one.
