1. What bet did Roderick and Oliver make
2. How did Henry come to England
They bet on whether a man could live for a month in London if he had a million-pound bank note.
He came to England by accident. He was sailing when his boat was carried out to sea, and a ship rescued him, taking him to England.
3. How does Henry want the brothers to help him
4. Why do you think Henry does not want the brothers’ charity
5. Why do you think the brothers chose Henry for their bet
He would like them to offer him a job.
Because he is a proud and honest man who thinks that it is important to live by hard work.
Because he looks poor. Then when they talk to him, they discover that he is poor, friendless, and alone. He is perfect for their bet.
Homework

2. Finish the continuation writing based on the first sentence.
With the bank note in his hand, Henry walked into a restaurant.
