Once there was a man, he had a lot of it, no one knows what happened, but there was a lot, life didn't cuddle with him. From what is said on the streets, we know that his name, Arthur Simon, and that he lived a normal life, he was happy, had a family, house, good job, once everything went wrong, and lost everything he ever had, property and family, ended up on the street, all he had was a bag and old books that family owned for generations, parents always read them to their children, as did he. Arthur found friends Bob, Billy and John. Bob was the oldest and so wise, but he got on the street by his mistake, getting tricked by a con man. Billy became an orphan in childhood, and he didn't make money to keep the house and study, he's a great painter. John, yeah John is me, the narrator, but not a main character, I was the manager, but I lost everything in a crisis, then I was a cowboy at a theme park, but even that went bankrupt. Arthur once needed money to send a gift to his only relative, daughter Carol, on her 15th birthday. He went to sell his books, when he was in antiquarian, the salesman told him he is homeless, so he must have stolen the books from an outdoor library in some park, never returned the books, and threw him out of the store. 15 years later, these books went up for auction, the value of one book was 20,000 USD. A very rich man found out about the auction, bought all the books, nothing is known about him, how he got the money, but his name was Arthur Simon.
