"Pssst..." Luke whispered. "Pssst..." He whispered again. No answer. "Psst." By now he was close to tears. He couldn't stand it anymore. His tears broke out. "Don't leave me now ma! Pa is all the way in Minnesota." He weeped " Not now ma Not now!" He weeped oncee more.
"Son," His ma smiled. "You can do anything if you put your mind to it. I know we live all the way in San Diego and your father is in Saint Paul But you will find him."
"But ma-"his ma spoke up again
"Shhh little one the world is full of wonders. I have fifty dollars and nintey-eight cents. Oh how I wish it was ninety-nine cents" With that she drew in her last breath and went away to the heavens.
He wepped and weeped and weeped until he could weep no more.
"Look at the bright side," he said. " She said she left me fifty dollars and nintey-eight cents." He began to sob again. For she had forgot to say where it was.
"Oh ma!"he sobbed."why did you have to leave me all alone in the cold winter blizzard! God help me!" He sobbed. "God help me." Then he remembered. "I have to pray to God." he stopped sobbing. " Did God not help Abraham, Noah, Adam, Eve, and David? He helped them! He can help me too!" With that he grabbed his Bible and ran out the door.
