    In Hong Kong, a normal accounts clerk was working in a small office. His name was Peter, Peter Morrison. He was 25 years old. He was a dreamer and always worry about money. `Oh no, everything in everyday is the same. It is so boring. Is my life is just like this?’ Peter cried.

    `Today, I must do something to change my life.’ He said. At 6 o’clock, He left the office and took a bus to home. On the bus, he listened to the music and waited for the bus arrived to his home. Suddenly, a old man who sit next to Peter whispered to him and said `do you want to be rich? If yes, I think I can help you.’ `Really, But how?’ Peter said. `My name is Harris. I am an angel who controls the life of everyone. You will get one million but the condition is you life-span will be shorted by one month. Yes, one million cost one month.’ The old man said.` Ok, it is cheap. Just one month only. I want to get two million.’ He laughed. He laughed because he was not believe Harris. `Ok, it is easy. Check your bank account tomorrow.’ Harris smiled. The bus arrived Peter’s home. `Thank you, bye.’ Peter said. `See you’.

    At home, Peter saw his parents and his girl friend Sue were waiting for him to have dinner. His father Paul and his mother Fiona were kind and very care about his son Peter. Sue was a good girl and very love Peter with no reason. Peter had a nice family. After having dinner, Peter went to his bedroom and thought that Harris was a mad person. `Although Harris is strange, I will go to check my bank account. If it is real, I will be a rich man.’ He cachinnated.

    The next day, when he left the office, he went to Hand Sing Bank immediately. He checked his account and shocked. What did he see? Yes, he got two million.
