Read differently.

A short and influential short story from Charlie Chaplin and his father.

I went with my dad, the circus, in the queue to buy tickets, a couple with 4 children in front of us.

When they arrived at the booth and the boatman told them the price of the tickets, the man's face suddenly changed and looked at his wife, it turned out that he did not have enough money and he did not know what to do ... !!

Suddenly, my father pounded his hand and took out a $ 10 banknote and threw him on the ground, then leaned down and took money from the ground and struck a man's shoulder, saying, "Excuse me, sir, this money fell from your pocket." The man who realized the subject looked at my father and said: Thank you sir ... !!

It was a decent man, but he did not accept my father's help in order not to be ashamed of his children;
After the kids got into the circus with their parents, we slowly left the queue and returned home, and I was proud of having such a father.

"It was the prettiest circus I had gone to my life"

Try to live rich, Instead of die rich....!
