One night, Tim was walking home when suddenly a thief jumped on him. Tim and the thief began to wrestle, and though Tim put up a tremendous fight, the thief managed to get the better of him and pinned him to the ground.
The thief then went through Tim's pockets and searched him, but all the thief could find was 25 cents. The thief was so surprised at this that he asked Tim why he had bothered to fight so hard for 25 cents.
"Was that all you wanted?" Tim replied, "I thought you were after the $500 in my shoe!" (Cybersalt)
