94. As Poor AS a Church Mouse
    Anna and Eric are talking about the previous lesson.
    E: Wow! Those store clerks really got lucky.
    A: You can say that again. Some people are born lucky.
    E: There must be thousands of old men just like that doctor, I bet.
    A: That's probably true. And they must be wanting to draw up a will to give their money away, too. So the next time you meet a lonely old man, you'd better treat him right.
    E: Come on! What kind of person do you think I am?
    A: Don't get so mad! I'm just kidding! Besides, you might not be so lucky and come across my old uncle, Jake.
    E: What do you mean?
    A: He's as poor as a church mouse!
