 This is the story of how I got to be the most famous kid in town. It all started on one Cool September morning when i was helping mom with the dishes. "Mom" I said "Yes Sweetie" she said to back to me.  "What is it like to be rich?"  She looked at me surprised  and said back  "Well i don't really Know sweetie i have never ever been rich in my life well now that i think of it know one in out family history was ever Rich." I looked back at her with my red hair blowing in the wind because the window was open. "Then I said Mom when i grow up I will be rich" Mom smiled them ruffled my hair  and said to me "Oh Zoe let's hope so" and then she left to get the phone! Then i thought of what i would do to become rich! The next day I told my best friend's Lilly a Mary about what I would do to become rich! Mary who was already a pretty rich Girl since her father worked at the bank said "My golly Zoe you sound like you want to become a QUEEN My mother is practically QUEEN she has 15 servants and always wants me to have good manners she always says! "MARY ROSE HARTFORD ! NOW DO NOT SPEAK UNTIL I SAY SO All other girls are much much better mannered that you" All of the us laughed Mary's mother was Soo  stubborn all she cared fore was for manners. Lilly who was quite poor said to me "My mother died when i was Four so i don't know her very well my dad who is a big drinker takes care of me he is not very nice at all everyday he comes home from work drunk and out of his mind he breaks plates and he yell's  so LOUD everyday he comes home "LILLY WERE HAVE YOU BEEN STEALING AGAIN" Oh how i wish my mommy was alive again! i miss her so dearly even though i can only remember how she looked i almost am positive she married my papa because she new if she did not marry that horrid man he would marry another horrid lady and they would not care at all for their child And maybe even kill Her/Him so she married my papa because of that Lilly sighed we are not rich at all"   Then she stopped talking. I Asked her "Why are you not rich I mean your mother being such a good lady must have been rich?" "Well said Lilly slowly.
