How+does+the+boy+Jose+react+to+Yolanda's+promise+of+a+dollar?

Jose is very excited to hear Yolanda's promise of a dollar. Back then, a dollar was worth alot more that it is now, so to a small Mexican boy who lives in a poor town and has to wear old clothes, to have a dollar is a huge privilage. As soon as Yolanda mentions the money, Jose's face lights up and he is willing to do anything for it. Yolanda needs help fixing her flat tire so Jose immediately runs as fast as he can into town to find help.

Unfortunately in the end, Jose returns with a sad look on his face and without help. Yolanda could see how hard he tried, so gives him the dollar anyway. When she asks him what he is going to buy with the money he says, "Nothing." Jose appreciates his gift and does not want to waste it. He would rather hold on to it, and besides, he probably has never had so much money before, so does not know what to do with it.
