101.04.01 How a hard bargain!
I watched a movie online before yesterday. That is about love between a child and an old man. I was crying because the realistic story.
I chatted with my friends to share my feeling of melancholy and then I felt better. Look on the bright side that is easy to say but not easy to do. Now, I’m happy. My friend taught me how to deal with problems. I’ll show I was happy when my supervisors treated me not so well. And think about good things that I have good friends whom we exercise together and making lots of fun.
I read a story from magazine that was an unusual and controversial French housing law allows buyer to purchase a home by paying the owner until he or she dies. The rationale is that the owner, which is almost always an elder person, can enjoy a reliable fixed income for the rest of their lives. However, the system creates the distasteful situation in which one is waiting, even hoping, for another to die. A hard bargain happened. The 47-year-old man, he found was a spacious second-story building with a balcony overlooking the pleasant downtown area. The owner was a widow who had been 92. So it would be a great deal he thought that he would have the lovely property for himself well before he reached retirement age. So he signed the contract and pay check US500 per month for the owner. But he saw the widow fencing in the park, and riding a bicycle around town at age 100. The house valued about US60000. After three decades, and about US$180000 into bargain but he died at age 77 and never slept a wink in it. We all make bad deals in life!
