Answer 2

Once there lived two brothers — Jim and Ronald. Ronald worked a lot and made a wonderful career as a banker. His brother Jim wanted to become an actor. He played in a small theatre and dreamed to be a film star. His brother Ronald often told him, “Think of some good job, brother. You can be a banker or an engineer.” But Jim didn’t want to say goodbye to his dream for a long time. Then on his fortieth birthday he said to Ronald, “I’m not a young man now. My acting is not very good. I want to marry a nice woman and have a family. I know I must begin a new life. I’ll become an assistant in a bookshop.” And he did. In that shop, there were books about theatre, actors, and acting. Jim learned a lot about these things. Soon, people interested in theatre began to come to the shop. Jim answered their questions and helped them. That was how he knew to be happy.
