At that time, an old man came up to him. After listening to the businessman, the old man gave him a check (支票)and said to the businessman, "Take this money. Meet me here exactly one year later from today and you can give the money back at that time. "Then the old man walked away.

The businessman saw the check for $500.000, signed by John D. Rockefeller who was one of the richest men in the world!

I can pay off(償還)all my debts at once!"he thought with a smile. But instead, he decided to put the check in his safe(保險(xiǎn)箱)

Within a few months, he was out of debt and making money once again.
