Another day, Another dollar
James
Cash is a very rich man – in fact, he's a multi-millionaire. He is
thirty-five years old and lives in a mansion in the country. He is
the chairman of a big company. 
Every day he has breakfast in bed. He usually has boiled eggs and champagne! He makes phone calls and reads the newspapers at breakfast time. Then he gets dressed. His servants help him. He always wears a smart suit to the office.
At
seven o'clock his chauffeur drives him to his office. He has business
meetings every morning. Every afternoon he looks at the sales
reports. Sales go up every year because business is good. 
In
the evenings he likes to entertain important business clients. They
often go to his favourite night club, Madame JoJo's. They have
dinner, drink champagne and watch a cabaret. 
At two o'clock in the morning his chauffeur drives him home. He goes to bed half an hour later, and dreams about sales figures. James is always exhausted. The next day is exactly the same. Would you want a job like his?
