     Once upon a time, there was an ordinary man who lives in an ordinary house. The name of the man is Kata. He doesn’t have any special work, nor salary, he is just a writer. His books are not that famous, but his income is enough for him and his wife to live. Then one day, Kata’s boss fired him because no one is interested in his books anymore and some of his works are not being published. One week after, Kata doesn’t have a job anymore, he is trying to find some jobs but no one is accepting him, and he said to himself, “ If I’m only rich, I would start my own company and raise it properly, but now that I don’t have any job, how can I pay my taxes? My rent? My car rental? My rent is a little expensive, and my car it's a little costly, and I guess if I can’t find a job next week, I have to move to another house that is cheaper than my house today.”



     Second week after losing his job, Kata still can't find a job for him, and he has to move house or else he won’t have enough money to pay his rent. “And now, I have to leave this house and move to another, I don’t have any money anymore, my taxes are getting bigger and bigger,” Kata said in his desperate voice, and Kata started to packed his things and cleaning the house before he leaves. But before Kata packed his things, her wife broke up with him and said, “Sorry Kata, I don’t want to break up with you, I love you so much, but my parents won’t stop telling me that you are not worthy enough for me since we got married. Sorry Kata, I hope you’ll miss me, bye.” Kata is so stress, he doesn't know what to do, everything is getting worse, but he has to accept it.



     Until one day while Kata is cleaning his garage, he is still sad for losing his job and his wife. While cleaning his garage, he saw a long and sticky spider web and started cleaning it. He is following the long web until he gets into the back corner of the garage. He saw a shoe box, and he picked it up and move it outside the garage, but the shoe box is heavier than it should be. Kata is so suspicious to what might be inside it, he thought it was just a normal shoe box with some nails and hammer inside, so he rejected it. Kata keep cleaning his garage until it gets dark, and he saw the shoe box again and want to throw it into the bin, but the box is just really heavy so he decided to open it. “Why is this so heavy? It only has some nails and hammer in it, but how would I know if I wouldn't open it.”, and Kata continuously opened the box. When he opened the box, he can’t speak and say anything, he started to cry. His emotions are getting mixed. The box has a money in it, a very big amount of money, it has $40000 in it and there is a note inside it, its from his wife. “Kata, I left this box for you, since I know things are not that good, so I decided to put this in the garage because I know that you are moving house, I hope this $40000 will make things better, from your wife, Kate.” Kata cried so hard, he suddenly moved to get his phone and called his ex-wife and said, “Kate I can’t leave without you and this money is so big, I cannot accept it. I’m not worthy enough to have this huge amount of money, all I want is you not the money.”



     Two weeks later, Kata found a new job for temporary and he used the money to make a company of his own. Things are getting better for him, and he and his wife are back together also. Kate and Kata lived happily ever after. One year after, Kata move house into a more expensive one with his wife, he is one of the richest men in the city, thanks to the shoe box, everything changes into a better one.
