2. The winning ticket.

Jason Williams came home and sat down on his bed. He was twenty-two years old. He lived with his father and mother in three small rooms at the top of a tall building. Every day he went out, but he did not go to work. Jason stole things. Sometimes he stole things from shops or cars; and sometimes he stole money from old people like Emma Carter. Today he was angry.

I took that old woman's bag,' he thought. 'What did I get? Two pounds, seventy-four pence, and a lottery ticket! And it was an old, cheap bag too.'

Two pounds, seventy-four pence, and a lottery ticket!'

Jason knew about lottery tickets. He bought five tickets every weekend. He put Emma's lottery ticket in his pocket and forgot about it. Then he went out for a drink.

At the hospital a nurse put Emma to bed in a room with five other women. There was a television in the room, and at eight o'clock everybody watched the lottery. For a minute Emma watched too, but she felt very tired and soon she closed her eyes and slept. So she did not hear the winning numbers for that week's lottery...

On Sunday at twelve o'clock Jason got out of bed and made some tea. Then he opened his father's newspaper and found the winning lottery numbers: 5, 12, 23, 24, 38, 41. He checked his five lottery tickets. 'No good!' he said.

Then he remembered the old woman's ticket and checked those numbers too: 5, 12, 23, 24, 38, 41. He checked them three times. Six winning numbers!

I'm a winner!' he said. He kissed the ticket. Then he ran into the living-room and kissed his mother.

Here, what's the matter, Jason?' said Lily Williams. Jason sometimes hit her, but he did not usually kiss her. Her cigarette fell out of her mouth.

The lottery! I'm this week's winner, Mum! Look – six winning numbers. I'm rich!'

I'm this week's winner, Mum! I'm rich!'

Jason's father came into the living-room. 'What's all this noise?' he said.

Joe, Joe!' said Lily. 'Jason's got six winning numbers in the lottery. We're rich!'

Wrong!' said Jason. 'I'm rich.'

His mother and father began to speak at the same time. But Jason did not listen. He went out to the telephone box in the street and made a very important telephone call.

On Monday morning a policeman came to the hospital with Emma's new shoes.

A little girl found them in the street and took them to the police station,' he said.

How kind of her!' said Emma.

We found your bag too,' said the policeman. 'But there's nothing in it, Mrs Carter. I'm sorry.'

It doesn't matter,' said Emma. 'I'm very pleased to have the bag. My son gave it to me a long time ago. He lives in Australia, but he telephones me every week... And now I've got my new shoes too. Thank you very much.' Suddenly she felt happier.

That evening an ambulance took Emma home. She made a cup of tea and sat down to watch the television news.

The newsreader smiled into Emma's living-room.

And now for this week's lottery winner. The winning numbers were: 5, 12, 23, 24, 38, 41. And here is the man with the winning ticket – Jason Williams! Jason is twenty-two and now he's a rich man. He's got a cheque from Sunshine Lotteries for five million pounds. That's a lot of money! Well, Jason, how are you feeling tonight?'

Wonderful!'

And what are you going to do with your money?' 'Oh, I'm going to buy a house with fifty rooms, and a big expensive car. I'm going to go to New York, Miami...'

Emma looked at the young man on the television. Jason Williams had a big smile on his face, but he had long, dirty brown hair, brown eyes... Emma sat up quickly. 'That's the man!' she thought. 'I remember his face. He hit me and snatched my bag, and stole my lottery ticket – my winning ticket, with my winning numbers!'

She got up and went to the telephone. 'Hullo – police?' she said.

2. 中獎(jiǎng)的彩票

賈森·威廉斯回到家,坐在床上。他22歲,和父母住在一棟高樓頂層的三間小屋里。他每天出門,但不是去工作,而是去行竊。有時(shí)他從商店或汽車?yán)锿禆|西,有時(shí)從像?,敗たㄌ剡@樣的老人那里偷錢。今天他很生氣。

“我搶了那個(gè)老女人的包,”他想,“我得到了什么?兩英鎊74便士,還有一張彩票!這個(gè)包還又舊又不值錢。”

賈森也玩彩票。他每周末都買五張彩票。他把?,?shù)牟势狈旁诳诖铮筒辉偃ス芩?。然后他出去想喝上一杯?/p>

醫(yī)院里,一位護(hù)士將?,敯仓迷谝婚g病房的病床上,里頭還有另外五個(gè)女病號(hào)。病房里有臺(tái)電視,8點(diǎn)鐘大家都在看彩票開獎(jiǎng)。?,斠部戳艘粫?huì)兒,但是她覺得非常疲憊,很快就閉上眼睛睡著了,因此她沒有聽到那周中獎(jiǎng)彩票號(hào)碼的公告……

星期天中午12點(diǎn),賈森起床弄了點(diǎn)茶喝。然后他打開父親買的報(bào)紙,看到了中獎(jiǎng)彩票的號(hào)碼:5,12,23,24,38,41。他核對(duì)了自己的五張彩票?!皼]中!”他說。

這時(shí),他想起了那個(gè)老太太的彩票,也核對(duì)了一遍上面的號(hào)碼:5,12,23,24,38,41。他核對(duì)了三遍。六個(gè)中獎(jiǎng)號(hào)碼!

“我中獎(jiǎng)了!”他說。他親了親那張彩票。然后他沖進(jìn)客廳,親了親他的母親。

“啊,怎么了,賈森?”莉莉·威廉斯問。賈森有時(shí)會(huì)打她,但他通常不會(huì)親她。她的煙從嘴里掉了下來。

“彩票!我是這周的大獎(jiǎng)得主,媽媽!瞧——六個(gè)中獎(jiǎng)號(hào)碼。我發(fā)財(cái)了!”

賈森的父親來到客廳。“吵什么呢?”他問。

“喬,喬!”莉莉說,“賈森的彩票中了六個(gè)號(hào)碼,我們發(fā)財(cái)了!”

“不對(duì)!”賈森說?!笆俏野l(fā)財(cái)了?!?/p>

他的父母同時(shí)開始說話,但是賈森沒有聽。他走到街上的電話亭里,打了個(gè)非常重要的電話。

星期一早晨,一名警察拿著?,?shù)男滦瑏淼结t(yī)院。

“一個(gè)小女孩在街上發(fā)現(xiàn)了這雙鞋,送到了警察局?!彼f。

“她真好!”?,斦f。

“我們還找到了你的包。”警察說,“不過包已經(jīng)給掏空了,卡特太太。很抱歉?!?/p>

“沒關(guān)系。”?,斦f,“能找到包我就很高興了。這是很久以前我兒子給我的。他住在澳大利亞,不過他每周都給我打電話……現(xiàn)在我還拿回了我的新鞋子。非常感謝?!彼蝗桓械介_心些了。

那天晚上,一輛救護(hù)車把埃瑪送回了家。她泡了杯茶,坐下來看電視新聞。

微笑的新聞播音員出現(xiàn)在埃瑪?shù)目蛷d。

“現(xiàn)在要揭曉本周的彩票大獎(jiǎng)得主。中獎(jiǎng)號(hào)碼是:5,12,23,24,38,41。這位就是彩票中獎(jiǎng)?wù)摺Z森·威廉斯!賈森22歲,現(xiàn)在他是個(gè)有錢人了。他得到了陽光彩票公司開出的五百萬英鎊的支票。這可是一大筆錢??!對(duì)了,賈森,你今晚感覺怎樣?”

“棒極了!”

“你打算怎么花這筆錢?”

“哦,我要買一座有50個(gè)房間的房子和一輛大豪車。我要去紐約、邁阿密……”

埃瑪看著電視里的年輕人。賈森·威廉斯臉上帶著燦爛的笑容,但他有臟兮兮的棕色長發(fā)、棕色眼睛……埃瑪一下子坐直了身子?!斑@就是那個(gè)人!”她想,“我記得他的臉。他打了我,搶走了我的包,還偷了我的彩票——我的中獎(jiǎng)彩票,上面有我的中獎(jiǎng)號(hào)碼!”

她站起來走到電話旁。“喂——警察嗎?”她說。
