Mr. White wanted to help them. He remembered that Room 418, a very small room, was empty. He asked them if they would share a room. The three men said that they would. Mr. White told them that the room would be $30, $10 for each man. Each man gave him $10, and then they went up to their room. Mr. White soon began to feel sorry. “Thirty dollars is too much for the small room.” He called his assistant over and said, “Here is $5. Give it to the men in Room 418. They paid too much for the room.” The assistant took the money. While he was on the way to Room 418, he thought, “ How can three man divide $5? I’ll give each of them only $1, and I’ll keep $2. They will be happy to get something back. I’ll make a little money and Mr. White will never know.” So he returned $1 to each man. Each man had first paid $10. After the assistant gave $1 back to him, each one had actually paid only $9. $9×3=$27. The assistant kept $2. $27 + $2= $29. Where is the missing dollar? 61. The meeting was held on __________. A.

Now its author Spence Johnson has written a book just for teens. The book tells us that when facing change in our lives, like a new school or new friends, don't be afraid. Instead, use this change to make a better life. The book gives an example of a change at school. A school is changing from having two terms to three terms because there are too may students. Several teens are talking about this. Most of them are unhappy and worried. But Chris is not. He laughs and tells a story about two mice, two "little people" and some cheese. The four are in a maze looking for the cheese. Here, cheese means something important in life, like moving to a new class or getting into college. But they find the cheese is gone. The mice realize that they can't change what has happened and have to find more cheese. This means finding different dreams. The little people, however, can't do this. They are afraid of change so they find no cheese. After Chris finishes the story, the friends understand one thing: to get more cheese, move in a new direction quickly. His friends understand how this can be used in the changes all teens face, such as doing well at school or having good relationships or just feeling good about yourself. 66.
