Mr Lang worked in a factory. As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able
woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did
anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博)
and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his
money and later he began to sell the television, watches and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he
didn't listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished for it. And he was hardly
sent away. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much and the woman had to leave
him.
It was New Year's Day. Mr Lang didn't go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He
called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his
five-year-old son to go to find out if there were the policemen outside. They waited for a long time and
thought the police would not come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few
policemen.
"I saw there weren't any policemen outside, Daddy," said the boy, "so I went to the crossing and asked
some to come."
