Describe a story or a novel that wasparticularly interesting to you.

　　I once heard a news story about a man who ispretty lazy all the time, but he could always come upwith some hilarious ideas to make easy money, justlike what the fox does in the movie Zootopia. And recently he got arrested because ofsomething “unbelievable” he did. Here’s the story.

　　One day he was running out of money, so it was time for another scam, you know. Hespent every penny he had left on a package tour to Dubai, which is the wealthiest city in theMiddle East and is packed with loaded and generous people who spend money like water. Onthe first day he set foot on Dubai, instead of checking in the fancy hotel the travel agency hadarranged, he went straight to the corner of the street, sat down and started to beg for money.And when it was getting dark, he just wrapped himself up in the blanket he prepared.According to what he said in a later interview, the reason why he didn’t go back to the hotel isthat he needs to have some professional ethics. Interesting, uh? Anyway, by the end of histrip, he had begged 470,000 RMB, which is a ridiculous amount of money that is impossiblefor an average person to make in a year!

　　I don’t remember how he got arrested, and to be honest, I didn’t realize it was a crime untilsomeone told me that his tourist visa doesn’t qualify him to work as a beggar in Dubai. Thefact that he was fined a huge amount of money in the end has burst quite a few people’sbubble who planned to copy him.

　　So I guess this story is interesting as well as educational.
