THE LUCKIEST SANDWICH IN THE WORLD

Mr. Friedman was in a shopping centre in Birmingham the other day when he suddenly felt very hungry. He decided to buy himself a sandwich, but when he took his wallet out he discovered that he only had a     $ 50 note. It was six o’clock in the evening, he was really hungry and nowhere else was open. Then he had a crazy idea! He’d buy some lottery tickets and the sandwich. He never did stupid things like that and in fact he never bought lottery tickets. It was the first time in his life.

Mr. Friedman was a cleaner and his wife was a secretary and they didn’t have much money, so when he got home his wife was very angry. ‘We look after our money,’’ she said, “and you go throw it away on lottery tickets! We’re saving for holidays in Brighton!”
