The Sky Rains Money

السماء تمطر نقوداً

It is a truism that the sky does not rain money; but it appears that in America there are exceptions to every rule — even to this self-evident one. Upon the heads of passers-by and idlers near one of New York's skyscrapers there alight, every day, several small coins, without their knowing whence these descend upon them!

These coins are usually seen overhead between noon and one o'clock in the afternoon every day, and their total comes to ten dollars. It is said that an unknown benefactor tosses them from one of the windows on the sixteenth or eighteenth floor of that building!

And people's curiosity has so far failed to discover the identity of that wondrous benefactor.
