ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOLLAR
James Cash is a very rich man – in fact, he's a multi-
millionaire. He is thirty-five years old and
lives in a
mansion in the country. He is the chairman of a big
company.
Every day he
has breakfast in bed. He usually
has
boiled eggs and champagne. He
makes phone calls and
reads the newspapers at breakfast time. Then he
gets
dressed. His servants
help him. He always
wears a smart
suit to the office.
At seven o'clock his chauffeur
drives him to his
office. He
has business meetings every morning. Every
afternoon he
looks at the sales reports. Sales
go up every
year because business is good.
In the evenings he
likes to
entertain important
business clients. They often
go to his favourite night club,
Madame JoJo's. They
have dinner,
drink champagne and
watch a cabaret.
At two o'clock in the morning his chauffeur
drives
him home. He
goes to bed half an hour later, and
dreams
about sales figures. James is always exhausted. The next
day is exactly the same. Would you want a job like his?
