Someone in our neighborhood put a huge sofa out by the curb
for trash collection. Since it was in good shape, many
motorists slowed down for a look. But when they saw how
enormous it was, they’d leave.
Eventually a compact car pulled up, and two men got out.
“This I’ve got to see,” I thought. They removed the cushions,
turned the sofa upside down, and shook it hard. Then they
picked up all the coins that tumbled out and drove off.
