Работа делала его очень занятым, поэтому у него не было времени, чтобы научиться писать, но банк был рад делать бизнес (2) с ним, несмотря на то, что его подпись состояла (3) из двух крестиков.
Он заработал много денег и открыл больше магазинов, дети были отправлены (4) в частные школы, и семья переехала (5) в большой дом. Однажды его банкир, мистер Смит, попросил его зайти.
"Так в чем проблема?" Спросил Джонсон, немного тревожно.
Смит махнул кучей чеков (6) перед ним. "Пожалуй, ничего," - сказал он, "но я хотел бы (7) обезопаситься. Эти недавние чеки (8) все подписаны (9) с 3мя крестиками, но ваша подпись имеет только 2."
Джонсон выглядел смущенным. "Мне очень жаль (10) о том, что это вызывало проблемы," - сказал он, "но моя жена сказала, что, так как я теперь такой богатый парень высокого класса, я должен иметь среднее имя!"
