ABSTRACT

A young man asked a old rich man how he made his money. The old man said “It was 1932, and I was down to my last nickle. I invested that nickle in a apple. I spent the entire day polishing the apple. At the end of the day, I sold the apple for ten cents. “The next morning, I used the ten cents too buy two apples. I spent the entire day polishing them and sold them at the end of the day for 20 cents. I continued this system for a month. At the end of the month, I had earned $137.00 which was a fortune. So that’s how you got rich? the boy asked. “Heavens, no!” the man replied. “Then my wife’s uncle died and left us five million dollars.”
