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.
可怜的百万富翁
不可能是这样的，我没有花钱买了我想要的东西。我出示我的钞票询问可不可以找零兑换，但是每一次都是相同的事情发生。没有人可以兑换。
我没有花钱买了所有我需要的和我想要的奢侈品。我抓在汉诺威广场的高级酒店。我一直在酒店里吃晚餐。但是我首选的吃午餐的地方是哈里斯的简单餐馆。哈里斯是我用钞票吃好饭的第一个地方。那里也是全伦敦关于我以及我钞票所有消息的散发源。
哈里斯的餐馆因为我在那里吃午餐变的有名。哈里斯很开心和所有他的新客户。
我生活的像个富有重要的人。我有钱花。我生活在梦里。但是经常，我对自己说：“记住，当那两个人回到伦敦这个梦就会结束。一切都会改变。”
我的故事上了报纸。每个人都在谈论关于“陌生的百万富翁和他口袋里的百万钞票。”《笨拙》杂志在首页上画了关于我的有趣的图片。人们谈论着我做的所有的事和我说的所有的话。他们在街上跟随着我。
我保留着我的旧衣服，有的时候我会穿上他们。好玩的是当商店老板认为我很穷，然后我给他们看了我的钞票，之后，欧，他们的脸色变得太快。
在伦敦十天后，我拜访了美国大使。他很开心跟我见面。他邀请我参加了傍晚的晚宴。他告诉我他知道我的父亲是耶鲁督学的，他邀请我去他家里在我任何时候想去的时候。
我很高兴得到这个消息，重要的朋友。 我对自己说“我需要一个厉害的朋友，当这个百万钞票赌约的故事结束的时候。”
我想读者知道我计划付给所有赊欠给我买东西的店主人钱。“如果我为那个老绅士赢了赌约，”我想，“我将会得到一份重要的工作，有了一份重要的工作，我将会有很多的薪水。”我计划将我第一年的所有薪水用来还账。
