My school draft (a storytelling) A lucky man story On a hot day in summer, Charley, a man in his forties, was riding around the city in his old car. As soon as he realized that his car had almost run out of gas, he headed to the nearest gas station. While it was being pumped with gas he walked towards a store as he had a craving for chocolate. Just as he opened the door, however, his appetite disappeared so he ended up just browsing for anything. A flashy lottery ad caught his attention and he decided to buy one ticket. After getting into the car he put the ticket in the glove compartment. Three months later, Charley felt like it was time to sell his car; since he was a little hard up and needed some cash to survive. He searched badly for a buyer but it was difficult to find one. After a great effort he finally found a buyer whose most outstanding quality was his honesty. Before the deal was made, the new owner wanted to make sure everything was in order, so he checked every corner and detail of the car. Suddenly he spotted a shiny ticket among the papers stored within the glove compartment. It was the lottery ticket that Charley had forgotten there. Because the man was honest he got to meet Charley and handed back all the papers along with the lottery ticket. Just then Charley remembered that the day when the prize was being given was that day. So he went desperately to the same store he bought the lottery ticket from, bought the newspaper and looked for the winner’s names with uncontainable excitement. He found out that he was the winner. Charley showed up to the TV program where the winners receive their prize. During the program there were a lot of cheers and hoorays for the winner. Finally, Charley used the money he won to buy a champagne bottle and called his car buyer to meet up and celebrate together that odds were in their favor.
