Fish Falling From The Sky

The cards were delt.......and I was feeling lucky. Confident in the combination of poker cards that lay in my grasp, I bet an ubsurd amount of money....... One million dollars. Being blinded by the power of greed, I hadn't even imagined that my ridiculous bet would backfire. Across the table and under the brim of his hat, I see a grin light up across his face. My face goes pale as I see him lay his cards out before me........ A royal flush. How could it be? That's impossible! I was certain my straight flush would win! Holding my frustration and confusion back, I acuse the man in a calm, simple tone "You're cheating... I know it". The man laughs "You better hand over 'my' one million dollars before someone gets hurt". "Yeah RIGHT! I won' give you the money until fish fall from the sky". Then... In the corner of my eye, I see the sillouhette of a fish drop to the ground outside the window. My stomach ties itself into an untiable not as more fish ebb to the ground. I run outside and gaze into the sky as fish decend through the clouds and onto the road at a suspicous rate. The sound of the man's thunderous laugh startles me. "Would you look at that! Fish seem to be raining from the sky. Now hand over my dough." Luckily I was prepared for an event like this. I grab my suitcase full of moneyand throw it to the man. Pleased with his efforts, the man steps into a chrome colored limo and the sound of the vehicle's ignition was the last I thing I ever heard from that cheater.

Did you really think that I payed that buffoon?! Obviously, being a twelve year old, I didn't have one million dollars so........ I filled the suitcase full of........ MONOPOLY MONEY! Even before we started playing I had realized that this fool was up to no good. So I invetigated and soon found out that he had a plane with a truckload of fish to be dumped out. I am not gouing to make the same mistake again! Next time I should say "when pigs fly"............. Lets see him try to make a pig fly!
