24. Read the paragraph.

Pat pleaded with Lucky to believe him. "I promise I am telling the truth this time, there really is a pot of gold!"

Lucky still did not trust him. After what felt like hours, Lucky became so annoyed with Pat that he finally

agreed to follow him to the old bridge. When they arrived, the beautiful rainbow was gone and to Pat's

dismay, so was the pot of gold. Pat looked down in disappointment, but a moment later something shiny

caught his eye. Something was stuck in the mud just a few feet from where he stood. He walked over, picked

it up, and rinsed it off in the pond. "Look, I found one gold coin, I told you there was gold here!" said Pat.
