Question

【題目】 A businessman was deep in debt(負(fù)債)and didn't want to live on. He felt sad and sat beside the river and thought what to do next.

At that time, an old man came up to him. After listening to the businessman, the old man gave him a check (支票)and said to the businessman, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year later from today and you can give the money back at that time. "Then the old man walked away.

The businessman saw the check for $500.000, signed by John D. Rockefeller who was one of the richest men in the world!

I can pay off(償還)all my debts at once!"he thought with a smile. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe(保險(xiǎn)箱)

Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.

Exactly one year later, he returned to the river with the check. The old man appeared. But just as the businessman was going to give back the check, a nurse came up and led the man away. The nurse said the old man was mentally(精神上地) ill and was always telling people he was John D. Rockefeller.
