One day he was looking for some food when a bag fell off a motorbike．But the rider didn't find it and left quickly．He picked it up and found there was plenty of money in it．There was nobody except him there．He sat by the road and waited for the owner．About half an hour later an old man came back by motorbike and looked for something．The young man returned the bag to the owner．The old man thanked him very much and told him to work in his shop．
Mr．Clarke worked hard and watched everything carefully．He learned a lot．With the old man's help，he had a shop．He never fooled anybody and was friendly to the shoppers．And people liked to do the shopping in his shops．Of course he got a lot of money．Now he had several shops，a beautiful house，a few cars and other valuable things．He went to his village and brought his parents，wife and children to the city．How happy they were all when they moved into the beautiful house!
