The dollar

Missing change for the bus, I ask my cousin if he's got a dollar to lend me. He says, sure, just a minute, and goes off somewhere with his son.

His son comes back and says he has a present for me and to hold out my hand. I do, and he places three dollars in it, enough for the bus.

Upon our return, I have a dollar left in my pocket. My cousin isn't around, so I interrupt his son's cartoon watching to ask him if he knows what to do with the dollar that I'm holding up in the air. He says, "yep", takes it from my hand, walks over to the table, and drops it into a little bank in the shape of a cartoon character.
