/English Story - Rich Man Poor Man/

【Chapter one - A letter for Adam】

Dear father, I am living in London.
I have a job in a factory.
The work is very hard.
I often work at night.
But the pay is good.
I am well and I live with people from my country.
I am sending you 100 pounds in this letter.
This is for you and my mother.
Love to you and mother.

'100 pounds!' I said to the school teacher.
'You're wrong.' 

'It's a mistake.'
'No, the school teacher said.

I'm not wrong.
It's not a mistake. 

Here is the money.'
And he gave me a piece of paper.

'What is this?' I asked.

A money order, the school teacher said. 

'Go to Darpur.
Take this money order to the Post Office in Darpur.
The money order is worth 100 pounds.
The Post Office official will give you the money.'

'100 pounds!' I said again.

Everyone laughed and said, 'Adam, you are a rich man. 

You can buy many things for your farm and for your house.'

'And I can buy some good food and drink in Darpour. 

I am going to give a party for you all,' I told my friends.

Martha said,
'Saul is a good son.'

That evening, the Village People talked about the money order and my money.
Martha and I also talked about the money.
We needed many things for the farm.
