John works in a shoe factory and earns 10,000 a year. His brother Paul is a business man in London and makes 60,000 a year. John saves nearly all of his wages and only spends a little on food, but Paul wastes all his money on gambling. They inherited 20,000 each from their grandfather 14 years ago and John invested his share in Nokia. Paul lost all his money at a casino. He often borrows money from John, but never pays him back so now he owes him a fortune. John is really lucky and he found 1,000 on the ground next to a cashpoint machine last week, when he was withdrawing some money. He invited Paul to his house to celebrate, but when he was there, John saw him stealing money from his wallet. John decided never to lend Paul money again.
