The Flying Trunk (1) [The Flying Trunk]

The Flying Trunk (1)

There was once a merchant who was so rich that he could paved the whole street, and perhaps even a little side street besides, with silver.

But he did not do that; he knew another way of spending his money.

If he spent a shilling he got back two ー such an excellent merchant he was ー till he died.

Now his son inherited all this money.
He lived very merrily; he went every night to the theatre, made paper kites out of five-pound notes, and played ducks and drakes with sovereigns  instead of stones.

In this way the money was likely to come soon to an end, and that's just what happened.

At last he had nothing left but four shillings, and he had no clothes except a pair of slippers and an old dressing-gown.
