The President sat in his office looking at a big pile of papers about money.

He saw that UCLA had lots of cash from sports and classes.

So, he picked up the phone and asked them for $1 billion to fix some roads.

The governor heard about the call and got very surprised.

He told everyone it sounded like extortion from a funny movie.

But the President said it was just a nice way to share money for good things.

People on TV started laughing about what the billion could buy, like a giant ice cream truck.

UCLA's boss joked back that they could pay with free tickets to games.

In the end, it turned out the President meant to ask for help with a small project.

Everyone smiled and agreed to work together on a tiny park instead.
