Summary
  • A man sees a dime on the ground and bends to pick it up. He thinks it will bring him good luck. He sees another one and then quarters, halves, dimes. He continues to follow the trail and pick them up. Pretty soon there is a huge pile of coins and it grows bigger and buries him. He tells a co-worker his wife put some toasted cheese in his dinner pail this morning.
