Answer 1

One possible version:     An American named Henry Adams lands in London by accident. He has no money on him and is wandering on the street when he is stopped by two old and wealthy brothers,Roderick and Oliver. To see whether a man with only a million pound bank note can survive a month in London,the brothers make a bet and give Henry an envelope with the big note in it.        Henry,without opening the envelope, comes to a restaurant,where he is treated coldly by the waiter because he is in rags. When Henry takes out the million pound bank note from the envelope, both the waiter and the owner are shocked. Immediately, they change their attitude towards Henry,trying to be as good as they can to him.
