“Well, interest is what you call the 19 money borrowers have to pay back on a loan,” she explained. “Compound interest means that the interest payments get bigger and bigger the 20 you take to pay back the loan. To repay the loan, you will need to give me $11 after one month. If you wait two months to pay me back, your 21 will grow from $10 to $11. So I’ll be charging you interest on $11. Then I will add that interest to the $11 you already owe me, for a 22 of $12.10. That’s what you’ll owe after two months.”

“Huh?” Then I remembered the loan. “Hey! How can it be that much? I 29 borrowed $10.” “True,” she said, “but interest has been compounding for eight months. Now you 30 me $21.43.” She paused, then added. “You can pay me the $1.43.”
I 31 to believe that a $10 loan could more than double so quickly. Much to my 32 , my sister got her pencil and tablet and showed me exactly how it all added up.

A Good Man
It’s a late Saturday afternoon in early March, and I am sweating in search of the only gift my son wants from Los Angeles: a 16 to the homes of the stars such as Brad Pitt and Jet Li.
A cheerful taxi driver says, “No problem. Map sellers are everywhere!” When the taxi stops, a fellow 17 with a thin folded sheet and says: “Ten dollars.”
Ten dollars! With absolute 18 , I inform him, “That’s too much.” The map man leaves. I begin walking, certain I’ll find a (an) 19 star map soon.
I am 20 . There’s hardly anybody on the street. There don’t seem to be many real stores, just cars and bars. No maps. No stars. Blocks pass. The sun begins to sink. At the edge of West Hollywood, 21 fellow wanders ahead, selling star maps to some teenage girls.

I can hardly read it, 31 I make out a few phrases一“forgive 32 ,” “taxi’s been down” and, finally, “here’s map for your son.” There’s no return address. It’s signed, “kind regards, M.”
I hold the note in my hand, 33 what my son said to me when I got back from Los Angeles. “Did you meet any 34 , Dad?” he asked. Now I know what to tell him. “Yes, I did. I met a guy named M.”
