TASK 2

CHRISTMAS STORY 3

Martín, an unemployed father of three children has been looking for a job for over a year with little

success. His situation is really desperate: he has no money to pay for his rent, or his children`s school books and clothes. If they don`t go hungry it`s thanks to some help from relatives.

One day, Martín goes to the toilet at the railway station. He then notices a briefcase propping against the wall. He picks it up and opens it. He can`t believe his eyes: the briefcase contains a lot of money. At first he thinks he is a lucky man. He thinks that all that money will solve his problems but after a few minutes he is not so sure about it all. There`s a big doubt in his head. Should he keep it?

                                (Dialogue between Martín and Martin´s wife)

His wife says: we should give it to the police and tell our situation. Later the owner appeared and saw that we were very modest and generous people, the owner gave us much of their money. Martín and i returned to our home very happy.
