¡@ A woman went to a bazaar one evening. There was a tarot card machine there and so she made a wish. The woman wished that she could have a large fortune sooner or later. After she had made her wish, the machine dropped a card onto the floor. She picked up the card and saw some words on the back of it:
This magic ATM card allows its possessor to withdraw $500 everyday. If this rule is not strictly followed, the spell will be broken.
The woman at first thought that it was a joke. But one day when she walked past an ATM machine, she was tempted to withdraw money from it. To her surprise, she could really get $500!
The woman could not believe her luck and decided to try her fortune in the casino. She bet the $500 and won. The woman used the newly gained money to go shopping in the most expensive shops nearby.
The next day, the woman withdrew another $500 and went to the casino again. She thought that she would be as lucky as she was the day before. She won a little at first but as the woman gambled, she lost what she had made and eventually lost all her money, including the $500 and her own savings. The woman had nothing left and believed she had no choice but to borrow money from the loan shark, hoping that luck would return to her. But her luck did not come back and she lost the money she¡¦d borrowed too. Finally, the woman owed the loan shark a very large sum of money which she had no way to repay.
The woman tried her magic ATM card, hoping that she could get another fortune. This time she tapped in $5,000 instead of $500. However, she could not get the money and the card was taken by the machine. She had nothing left then. The woman believed she had no choice but to steal money from her company. For that she was caught and was put in jail for ten years. ¡@ ¡@ ¡@ |
