Money Mayhem

    There was nothing left of the money except two dollars.  Two dollars out of the ten they'd earned doing door to door selling candy bars. Francis was furious. How could Brendan spend eight dollars by himself? Francis stomped down to Brendan's house to confront him. When he arrived, he pounded on the door.  Brendan answered, "Hey man, what's up?"

    Francis replied "We only have two dollars left, that's what's up! You spent eight of our ten by yourself!" 

    "I didn't spend that money." Brendan said. "I was just about to come over and see if you wanted to try and make some more." 

    Francis stood back. "Well, I didn't spend the money, so where did the other eight go? Does your sister know about the money box?"

    "I don't think so" Brendan replied "I haven't spoken about it to anyone." 

    "So what do we do?" Francis asked. "I guess we can always sell more candy bars, but we need a new hiding spot if someone is stealing our money."

    "Good point. Did you look around and see if any of it was just misplaced?"

    "Actually I came over here as soon as I saw some of it was missing"

    "Let's go check and see if any of it is just misplaced then"

    "Alright, let's go."

    Francis and Brendan ran back to Francis' house and pulled out the money box. They couldn't find any on the floor or in any of the drawers. "Did you miscount by any chance?" Brendan asked.

    "No way, I triple checked" Francis replied.

    "Let me see" said Brendan.

    Francis opened the box and sure enough there were two bills. Brendan looked up at Francis with a deadpan stare. "You idiot, these are FIVE DOLLAR bills. All ten dollars are right here."

    "You said we had ten dollars, not two five dollars! You need to learn your counting again!"  Francis replied.

    "That's not how it works! Ugh nevermind. The money's all there, just keep it safe, we need it to restock our supply." Brendan said, walking away.

    "Oh" said Francis.

    On his way home Brendan muttered "I should have realized something was up when he said two dollars left..."
