Then Fausto took Roger home to his family in a rich home.But what would Fausto get? He thinks he would get some kind of reward," it's a rich house" he thought " they must have a lot of money"
This is when Fausto got the from returning Roger to his home
When Fausto took the dog back home he got 20 dollars.He didn't want to accept the money because he lied about Roger.He lied because he said Roger was by a highway,but roger walked up to him.So Fausto wanted to not accept the money but the man and women believed him, so he just left because they closed the door.
Fausto is walking down the street from Rogers house
When Fausto tried to give the money back, they didn't want it.So he walked down the street and was wondering how he could spend the money, maybe a guitar? No he saved it for a little bit longer because his mom called him for lunch and after lunch he had to go to church.Then they passed a box down to put money in and it came to Fausto.So he put his 20 dollars in there and that made other adults put more money in the box.
After he spent the money on his church
After Fausto spent his money, he felt better.He played football with his friends and his brother,Juanito jr.And he played the best he ever did in a football game.then he has to eat dinner which was his favorite,enchaladas.And since he spent 20 dollars on the church, his mom told him they had a Mexican guitarron in the basement.And it was his grandfathers, and his grandfather,Ernie, taught Fausto how to play the guitarron.Finally he is good enough and he joins a mexican band.
