The story starts like this: Margo didn't like her office job ..."
She had been working as an accountant for 15 years and she was fed up with everything: her barren office, the computer, her low salary and the greedy boss. 'If I had a million dollars, I would be the happiest person in the world. I would invest the money wisely and would not have to work another day in my life' - she thought.
That's why she decided to play the lottery on her way home. She thought she could win the jackpot and change her life for the better.
Luckily, the following day she did win the jackpot. She could not believe her own eyes when she saw the check for 1 million dollars.But instead of investing the money - as she had planned - she went on a shopping spree.
First, she bought an expensive sportscar even though she did not have a driver's licence.
Then, she contacted a real estate agent and purchased the most expensive mansion in the neighbourhood.
Unfortunately, she became addicted to gambling and drinking and had to sell her everything to pay her debts.
One day, she woke up in a hospital bed all alone. Her friends had disappeared and let her down. She was left to her own devices and had to figure out what to do next.
In spite of not having any money, she did not feel depressed. She decided to turn over a new leaf.
Then, she had a brainwave. She dialled the number of her former boss and asked him to hire her.
It turned out that the boss missed her a lot because she was the best bookkeper he had ever met. He did not only gave her her old job back but also gave her a bonus and a promotion.
All's well that ends well. Margo was fond of her job, saved a lot of money and was able to buy a simple car and a small house with a beautiful garden.
THE END
