There was once a millionaire who loved money than anything else in the world. He didn’t know exactly how much money he had, so he took a little girl to count all his money for him.

It took the little girl six days to count all the money. When she told the millionaire that he had forty-two million dollars, he was full of joy and asked: “ How much pay do you want” The little girl said: “well, I worked for six days, so I think you ought to pay for six days. Give two pence for the for the first day. Each day after that, just give me the amount you gave me the day before, multiplied （乘）by itself.” The millionaire thought that in this way he would only have to give her a very few dollars. What a foolish little girl! So he immediately had his lawyer write up a contract （契约）, fearing that she would

change her mind.

On the first day, the millionaire paid her two pence, and on the second day, two pence times two －four pence.
