A big school is U.C.L.A. It does important research. The government helps the school. It gives the school money for this work.
One day, the government stopped the help. It stopped the funding. This was about 500 million dollars. The school was worried. It needed the money.
The President had an idea. He said the school must pay a lot of money. He wanted one billion dollars. Then, the school could get the funding back.
