I'm Henry Adams. When I was 27, I worked in an office in San Francisco. One Saturday afternoon, I sailed my little boat out into the Bay of San Francisco. The strong wind pushed my boat out of the bay and into the Pacific Ocean. Luckily, I was saved by a British ship. The ship was heading to London.
I had only one dollar when I arrived in London. I walked around Portland Place, hungry and tired. At that moment, the window of a nearby house opened and a man said to me, “Come in here, please!” I was taken to a nice room. There two old gentlemen were sitting and discussing something. They were brothers. They had been arguing about(争论) a strange subject for several days. One brother said, “If an honest and clever stranger arrives in London without a friend or money, except for a 1,000,000 banknote(钞票), he will die of hunger. If he goes to the bank or anywhere else to change this big note, the police will put him in prison. Everyone will think he stole it.” The other brother answered, “No, I disagree.”
The two gentlemen decided to end their argument with a bet. They chose me because I had an honest and clever face and because I was a stranger to England. One of them gave me a little packet and told me not to open it until I was in my hotel room.
After leaving the house, I opened the packet and saw that there was money inside! I rushed to the nearest restaurant. After eating, I tried to pay with the money but discovered that it was a banknote worth five million dollars! It made my head swim. No one could possibly cash(兑换现金) it. The owner said, “You can pay for the meal whenever you want, Sir. I understand that you are a very rich gentleman. You like playing jokes on people by dressing like a poor man.”
I quickly returned to the house but was told that they had left on a trip. Then I remembered the letter inside the packet. It said, “In this packet you'll find some money. It is yours for only 30 days. At the end of that time, return to this house. We have a bet on you.” How amazing!
