Curiously, I walked over to the ATM, where I started pressing the buttons as if knowing the___19___ I looked into the bottom of the machine. There I saw it: a beautiful, crisp$ 20 bill!___20___I wanted to believe my magic made the cash appear, I knew the man in the suit must have left it behind.
I held the money in my hand, staring at the number "20" and feeling___21___than I ever had. I thought about slipping the money into my pocket. No one would know, but it didn't feel___22___.I knew it didn't belong to me. I had to find its owner and give it back! So I told my mom what had happened. "We'll look for him." she said kindly.

Before saying goodbye, he asked my mom for my name and____28____. "I want to send your daughter a thank-you card," he said.
On my way home, my ____29____was racing. Twenty dollars. What could I have done with it? I bet I could have bought a puppy or every single candy bar in town! But now ____30____of that would happen. Yet I knew I had done the right thing.
