lesson 4 - part two - paper by Cathrine Lim

The story depicts a man, who desperately wanted to own a huge house, gambling in a more uncommon and unheard of form -- shares.

He and his wife live in a terrace with his mother. The man and his family are all saving up their money to save up money to fulfil their dream of having their dream house. Only the man's mother was unsupportive.

The man then turned to shares to gather the money required. He was successful at first. They were making loads of money. But towards the end, their shares plummeted, leaving them close to bankruptcy.

The man eventually dies leaving his wife, children and mother. and an unfulfilled dream.

The man's mother decided to hire a person to make a house in exactly the same specifications and features as her son pictured the house to be. Except that it was made in paper.

The house was to be burnt to 'send' it to her son in heaven.

The man was driven mad by his desire to build his dream house. He was so set on it that he sacrificed everything just to make it possible. In the end, when he realised that he was unable to do so, he gave up his life.
