woman finds a hole in a book that happened to be hiding something unexpected

Hole Was Made

Apparently, someone had made the hole with the help of a knife. The hole was carved out on a specific space. The hole was carved to store something inside it. 

No Words

McAllister remembered, “I was totally stunned.” “Truly I was unable to find words. There were people in the category next to mine talking. I just took the open book and interrupted the conversation until I was able to say, “Look what I found!'” she added.

No Ordinary Book

Cathy had no idea that the book she had in her hands was nothing ordinary. She explained to Bookstr, “I had the book in my hands.” She was all set to hurl the book inside the “repulping” pile. However, she could not.     

Not In Bad Shape

She said, “I thought, ‘Well, it’s not in too bad shape. I’ll just check it.’ Sometimes our books are smoky, and so I fan them out to see if they smell – in which case we would discard them.” But was she wasting her time? She will soon find out.

Carved Purposefully

She explained, “I was ready to toss it because we had several copies already…but when I fanned that book out, there’s a big hole carved out in the book amongst the pages…” And soon she figured that the thing hidden inside the hole resembled a lot like bills.

Real Money

Money inside a hole? Well, it is highly unlikely so she took it as Monopoly money. Perhaps, a child had kept them inside the book. Most probably, this was some kind of tricks the kids were playing. She pulled the money out only to get the biggest surprise of her life.
