Sungho the Shoeshine Boy
Once there was a boy named Sungho. He was 14 years old and had been a shoeshine boy for seven years. He always said that when he grew up he was going to be the boss of many shoeshine boys. He was going to make a lot of money.
One day, while he was working very hard, a stranger gave him a white envelope. When he opened the envelope, he found two million won. "Why was this money given to me?" he asked, hoping it hadn't been a mistake.
For a month he thought only of the money. He worried that someone was going to steal it from him. Since this was the first time he had ever seen so much money, he was worried that he was going to spend it unwisely. To solve this problem, he began asking people, "What are you going to do when you get rich?" First he asked a teacher. "I'm going to start my own school," said the teacher. That was not interesting because Sungho had never been to school. Then he asked a student. "I'm going to buy many books and be the smartest student in my class," he replied. Since no one had taught Sungho to read, books were a useless investment. Finally when he asked a laborer, he replied, "I'm going to buy a big house for all my family." This was not the answer either because Sungho had no family.
Everyday, Sungho was sick with worry. He remembered his happy days before he received the money. Suddenly he "thought of an answer! Sungho put the envelope on the street and soon another man found it. Sungho's worries were over.
