in 1887 there was a man buying some turnip greens. he paid the clerk with a 20 dollar bill (don’t forget it was 1887 that is a lot of money today well over a hundred). the bill was wet because of the turnips and paint went off the bill. the clerk knew this man so she let him go. then she called the police and they announced that the bill was counterfeit. so a search warrant went to the house and found out that he made lots of counterfeits and was a master artist. he had 3 portraits that he painted. the portraits and the bills took about the same amount of time to draw them. they took the portraits and sold them at an auction for 16,000 dollars. Remember it is in 1887. if he just made more portraits instead of counterfeiting, he would of been rich if he sold his paintings. he was a thief but all he did was steal from himself.
think about this is it worth it to lie, and steal when God has a bigger plan for you.
