“OK here‘s the deal ---- We sneak in and find the black gumball; next, we have to get somebody to turn it in and claim the bicycle!”

The fairies had it planned down to the last detail, and the last detail walked into Carson’s five and dime at 4:32 that afternoon.

The fairies laid out their plan to Albert Sullivan and at 4:36 pm he agreed to be the one who would turn in the lucky gumball; the gumball that would win the fabulous prize. For his part in the “gumball deal” the fairies promised Albert that he could use the bicycle every other Tuesday afternoon.
