One day， some children got together and were talking to each other. They all lived in wealthy families. One girl spoke confidently，My family is very rich. My parents studied a lot.

One boy was listening to the girl and said，If your name ends with ‘-sen’， you will be miserable.‘ Well， I feel lucky I have no ’-sen‘ at the end of my name.

Then， the girl spoke again. Youre right. I have a friend whose name is ‘Martsen’， and his family is so poor. Another boy said holding up his head confidently， My father is in a high position. Everybody is afraid of him.

At that moment，one boy was listening to this conversation behind a door. He was poor，and his name ended with ‘-sen. He could not mix with the children because he was so poor.

This is so sad. I can never be a great man.He envied all the children in the room.

As time went by，the children all grew up. A millionaire was living in the town. A lot of people wanted to visit his house. This is such a wonderful house. Whose house is this？

The owner of the house was the poor boy. The boy grew up to be a great sculptor. Even though he was not born rich， and his name ended with ‘-sen’，the boy became a great man. The children in the room were all wrong.
