There was once a boy named Troy. He was part of a very poor family. He lived in the basement of a building with his mother, father and sister. They were sleeping on an old mattress that they found near the dumpsters. Their clothes were very thin, broken and dirty, and outside was winter. It was very cold. They did not even have something to eat. They tried every day to find something to earn some money, but because of the way they looked, no one even received them to sweep the streets. They did not know what they could do, they did not get help from anyone, and they finished every day with the empty stomachs.
One day, Troy strolled along the street. The wind was blowing very loudly. There was a storm coming. From the swirling dust and rubbish flying, all created by the wind, a paper stuck to Troy's face. He took her to see what it is. It was a ticket to the lottery. Blank. That gave him great hope. He ran quickly to his "house" to show them to his parents. He asked a person on the street to borrow a ball pen and he quickly selected a row of numbers. He glanced at a man's newspaper and watched when the lottery draw would be broadcast. The next day she went to an electrical appliance store and with some luck one of the TVs was open on the lottery program. He waited with suspense and emotion the row of winning numbers. He carefully watched every number on TV. Until the last one. And all fit! He had won the grand prize! $ 2.8 million! When he went to pick up the prize, the people there laughed at him, they thought he was joking. When they saw the ticket they were totally amazed.
Today, Troy and his family live in a villa and have everything they might want. But it is very important that they have not forgotten where they left. Every time they meet a person without money and house, they help him with great devotion.
