Mr
White was a
soldier when he was
young .He was
brave and
killed a lot of
enemies and he was also hurt in the
fights .He lost his
right eye ,his nose and a leg .But he was givern much
money for it and he nealy had all the
things he
wanted .Only one
thing troubled him :no girl
would marry such a man like him
though he was rich .
And when he was
fifty ,a
friend of his
brought a
young woman to him .She wasn’t
beautiful enough but
strong .Her
father died in an
accident and she couldn’t live any
longer because she
could neither read nor
write and
nobody liked a
woman like her .Mr
White was
happy and
married her .And two
years later she had a son Mike .Her
husband liked the boy very much and did his best to
satisfy him .The boy did
nothing at home and he
hated everything but
playing .Of
course he
learned nothing at
school .
Mr
White died when Mike was
fifteen .He left some
money and the nice
house to his son .The
young man
spent all the
money on
beautiful clothes and nice food in two
years and then had
nothing .He
began to beg in the
street .
One day he was
given some food and wasn’t
hungry .And he
began to go to an old ,
broken house in
which he
lived .A
kind-hearted woman stopped him and
asked ,“We have some
leftovers here .Do you want some ?”
“I’am
sorry ,
madam ,”said Mike .“Now I
wanted only some cake .”
“Oh ?Why ?”
“
Because it’s my
birthday today !”
