Mark is running late to get home and decides to take a shortcut, he knows he shouldnt but does. Mark was one of those schoolboys which people thought was a geek or a nerd, always keeping himself to himself and it didn't help him being a little stocky yet tall.

Running through the park he sees something glistening and can tell it is a shiny copper penny, looking around to see if he can find someone who dropped it, the penny looks old but in perfect condition.

Mark reaches down to touch the penny wondering if he should leave it as the owner may come back, but what if they done and it washes away down a drain and that would be wasted money?
