THE�SUPERLATIVE STORY

R ichard is in the world.He never falls ill but ifhe falls ill, it happens on Sunday or when his class goes on school trip one can imagine.He never gets extra money, but if his granny gives him some coins he loses them. His trousers� pockets haveholesin them. He is a good student butwhenhe writes an important class test, his pen runs out of ink. If he has a date with a girl , his bus breaks down. His canary is singing bird he has ever had. But when he proudly invites a schoolmate to listen to it, the canary becomes bird of all.

But Richard thinks he is very lucky. He thinks he is the luckiest boy of all. He has a wonderful mum and a wonderful dad, loving grandparents, an adorable little sister and a supportive big brother. His desk mate is the funniest in the school and the girls in his class are the prettiest.He has an affectionate doggie and a wonderfully singing canary (not always). Richard is always happy because he has a great heart. He�s boy in town.

One day his mother gives him some money to buy an ice cream. He doesn�t put it into his pocket. When he arrives at the ice cream shop,he sees a homeless man outside it. He looks hungry and Richardthinks he is man in the world. He has very old clothes and terrible sunglasses.

Richard looks at the ice cream in the shop window and then looks at the man. He decides not to buy the ice cream and gives the money to the poor man.

The man smiles and says �� Thank you very much. You are very generous. ButI�m not a poor man. On the contrary I�mman in town and I sometimes wear old clothes to see what people do. �

The eccentric millionairetakes Richardto shop in the area and says tohim : �Choose the present youprefer. Even one, if you want
Richard asks:� Can I choose two, instead?�
