/English Story - Rich Man Poor Man/

【Chapter 5 - Adam changes his money order】

I said nothing.
Mr Sheth gave me the money order back.
Then Mr Sheth smiled and said,

'I am very sorry.'

'You are an old man.' 

'You came a long way from your village.' 

'What can I give you to eat and drink?'

'I was not hungry.'
But Mr Sheth went out of the room.
Then he brought me some coffee and some cakes.
I drank my coffee.

'Old man,' 

said Mr Sheth, 

'I like to help people.'
'I am a rich man.'
'Give me your money order.'

I gave my money order to Mr sheth.

'Yes, this money order is wortshless.' 

he said again

'But I am going to help you.
'I am going to change this money order for you.' 

'I am going to give you some money.'

Mr Sheth went out of the room.
I felt very happy again.
After a few minutes the tall man came into the room.
He gave me an envelope.

'This is from Mr Sheth.' 

'You can go now.' 

the tall man said. 

I went out of the house.
I walked along the road to the bus station.
I opened the envelope and I took out my money.
I counted the money.
It was 10 pounds.
I thought about my only son, Soul.
My son, Saul had sent me a money order for 100 pounds.
Mr Sheth had given me 10 pounds.
I felt old and I felt poor again.
