While-reading: Read the scene and answer the questions.
They bet on whether a man could live for a month in London if he had a million-pound bank note.
He came to England by accident. He was out sailing when his boat was carried out to sea, and a ship rescued him, taking him to England.
He would like them to offer him a job.
4. Why do you think Henry does not want the brothers’ charity?
5. Why do you think the brothers chose Henry for their bet?
Because he is a proud and honest man who thinks that it is important to live by hard work.
Because he looks poor. Then when they talk to him, they discover that he is poor, friendless, and alone. He is perfect for their bet.
While-reading: Read the scene and answer the questions.
Understand Henry's situation.
●How do you do, Mr...er...?
