"The Story of Nickel O'Dean
Back in the 3rd grade, I had a friend named Timmy O'Dean. The kid was kind of goofy, because you could go to him with a nickel in one hand, and a dime in the other. Your hands would be open, so both coins were clearly visible. No tricks or deception. Then you'd tell the young O'Dean that he may take one of the coins for himself. His choice would ALWAYS be the nickel! When asked why he chose the nickel, he'd say, "cause it's bigger, and shinier - lookie here!" All the kids always got a laugh, and the young O'Dean kid became known as "Nickel" O'Dean.

Not until later did we find out that Nickel O'Dean was pulling a fast one. He made the costly mistake of telling a close school friend about his little game. Nickel explained that by choosing the nickel, the other kids would laugh and pull the same goof, time after time, thus insuring that little Timmy would keep getting nickels. As you may have guessed, Timmy's friend blabbed to all the other kids, and that was the end of Nickel O'Dean's money-making days! And now the legend of Nickel O'Dean lives on!"
