Answer:

The man scoffed at my question. “Please, I need some food! I'm so hungry! I need to feed my family.” I held back my tears. The man laughed. “Crocodile tears?” He asked, “C'mon, you don't even work, and you are crying!” The man during the past days had always rejected my offers for money and food. He never gave me a morsel to eat, and I was starving to near death. The man grimaced at my bottle of cents. “You don't deserve that money! I'm saving up for a Lamborghini! I need this more!” And with that, he snatched it. “Hey!” I said chasing after him. My knees buckled with pain. My bones wiggled like jello straight from the cup. I collapsed in agony. The man drove off.
