The Wild Weed Band had just completed its concert on a fine day in August and was reaping enthusiastic and noisy applause from the five thousand fans extending far beyond the band stage.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs it’s my birthday today, I feel generous,\u201d shouted the band\u2019s singer Magno Solo jubilantly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAll of you who have your birthday today are invited to come up here with your concert ticket and receive a 5,000 dollar check as a token of my great appreciation of my fans,\u201d Magno Solo held his glittering arms out in a welcoming gesture.<\/p>\n
Rapidly a group of people with smiling anticipative faces materialized on the stage.<\/p>\n
Bongo King, the drummer, stood ready with a bundle of checks, handing them out one by one to the overjoyed people in the group. He gave each one a big hug and a flower.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor an additional special prize of 20,000 dollars, give your ticket to our guitarist Marco, who will convert your ticket number to a day of the month number with his little calculator. You\u2019ll win if your number converts to today\u2019s date,\u201d exclaimed Magno Solo with a regal bow.<\/p>\n
The group on the stage rushed to Marco, who checked each ticket and converted the ticket number to a day of the month number, announcing any winner with a fanfare from the band.<\/p>\n
The concert ended with enraptured winners loudly singing the song \u201cFor he\u2019s a jolly good fellow,\u201c accompanied by the Wild Weed Band to appreciative shouts and whistles from the audience.<\/p>\n
