George is an only child and doesn’t have a father because he was killed in a car crash. George’s mom is very sick and does not have enough money to buy some medicine. Every day, George looks up and down the streets looking for loose change.
One day, he came across a poster that read, “Do you have skills?” George looked at the bottom of the poster. In big bold letters it read, “Grand Prize: $100,000.”

The voice said, “We have a winner! George Bailey, please meet me at my office.”
When he got to the office, he saw someone sitting in a chair. The man turn around. He smiled. “Hello, George,” he said.
“Where is the money?” George said.
“I have one thing to say before that.”
“What?” said George.
