The impossible happend.I bought everything I wanted without money.I showed my banknote and asked for change,but every time the same thing happened.No one was able to change it .
I bouhgt all that I needed and all the luxuries that I wanted.I stayed at an expensive hotel in Hanover Square.I always had dinner at the hotel.But I preferred having fbreakfast at Harris's simple eating place.Harris's was the first place where I had a good meal with my million-pound note.That's where it all started The news about me and my banknote was all over London.
Harris's eating place became famous because I had breakfast there.Harris was happy with all his new customers.
I lived like a rich, important man.I had money to spend.I lived in a dream.But often,I said to myself,"Remember,this dream will end when the two return to London.Everyting will change."
My story was in the newspapers.Everyone talked about the "strange millionaire with million-pound note in his pocket."Punch magazine drew a funny picture of me on the front page.People talked about everything I did and about everything I said.They followed me in the streets.
I kept my old clothers,and sometimes I wore them.It was fun when the shop owners thought I was poor.Then I showed them the banknote,and oh, how their faces changed!
After ten days in London,I went to visit the American Ambassador.He was very happy to meet me.He invited me to a dinner-party that evening.He told me that he knew my father from Yale University.He invited me to visit his home whenever I wanted.
I was glad to have a new,important friend.I thought to myself,"I'll need an important friend,when the story of the million-pound note and bet comes out."
I want the reader to know that I planned to pay back all the shop owners who sold me things on credit."If I win the bet for the old gentleman,"I thought,"I will have an important job.With an important job,I will have a big salary."I planned to pay back evertyone with my firts year's salary.
