Two millionaire brothers bet in London, put a million dollars to deliver it to Henry, to see how he ended up in a month for a month. The time came, Henry did not starve or arrested, but became a millionaire, and win a beautiful girl. The article with a slightly exaggerated artistic reproduction of satire and humor in the novel master, revealed the mammonism thought of British society at the beginning of twentieth Century, is an important piece of work can not be ignored Mark Twin selected works is a short story, very classic.

For example, the following parts of the book:
