Boys to play with him every Saturday at the family's private concert hall, though his family was never
there. By the time he was twenty-one, Money Mark was bored with life. He was surrounded by a bunch
of possessions that he didn't appreciate. Nothing was new or exciting to him. Despite his vast wealth,
Money Mark never found happiness. Penny Petal was born poor. Her family hardly had anything to eat,
but they loved each other. Penny Petal appreciated everything she got. When she was six, her father
walked her around the United Center before the Bulls played the Celties. She was excited by the crazy
fans and feeling in the air. She looked forward to the day that she could see a real game. When she was
thirteen, she learned to play the buckets. She was an extremely talented musician, a natural
percussionist. Everyone on the block loved the rhythms that poured from her palms. By the time she was
twenty-one, Penny was a successful businesswoman. Soon she had everything that she had ever dreamed
of having. She loved to share her wealth and happiness with her family, who had supported her through
the hard times.
