Once upon a time, there was a passenger who was traveling to a faraway land. But, he had one problem - he didn't have any money! He went to the departures gate with his luggage and passport, but the gatekeeper wouldn't let him board the plane without any money. The passenger thought for a moment and then came up with a clever idea. He said, "I have a special talent, I can make money appear out of thin air!" The gatekeeper was skeptical, but the passenger convinced him to give him a chance. The passenger closed his eyes and made a big show of waving his arms around. When he opened his eyes, there was a pile of money at his feet! The gatekeeper was amazed, and the passenger was allowed to board the plane. When he arrived at the arrivals gate, he repeated the same trick and made even more money appear. From that day on, the passenger was known as the Money Magician, and he was never short on cash again. The end.
