Millions
A diary entry by Maria Martire

December 15th,

A few days ago a backpack somehow appeared in my hermitage. When I opened it to see what was in it ,I discovered that it was full of money. 229.370 pounds! We were rich!

Immediately, I told Anthony everything that I knew about the money. No one knew how it got there. I believed the Saints had sent the money to help us. But Anthony did not believe me.

I was not sure about using the money, but Anthony was certain we should spend it on us. I thought we should buy a house. However, they wouldn´t let me because I am too young, and I couldn´t have so much money.

After some days, a woman came to our school. She told us, she was collecting money to help the poor. Each one of us could help with what we had, however little it was. I put 1.000 pounds in the pot.

However, although I donated 1.000 pounds I still feel that we should not be spending this money. It is not ours. What should I do? I am sure my mother would know what to do to help us.
