I’m going to be seventy years old three days from now. Therefore, I want to leave information about me. What did I do? What can I leave for my descendents? What did I inherit from my ancestors? I’m going to write about these questions.
When I was one year old, my parents deserted me to an orphanage. Accordingly, the only thing I know is that I was born in Japan. I grew up there with children like me. That orphanage was not good place. The room were very small, and the meal were not delicious and not enough. Those children in there always looked like unhappy. However, I felt happy in spite of the difficult situation because I always had a dream and hope. My dream was go to a university.
When I was five years old, I had a good opportunity. One rich man came to visit my orphanage to search for good talent. When he met every child in the orphanage, he said his hobby was playing Reversi. The other children didn’t pay attention about his hobby. They just tried to make the man feel comfortable. Someone massaged him, and another child brought a cold drink to him. The other children made just smile. But it didn’t make the man decide to adopt them. I didn’t do like the other children, however. I was just thinking about a good strategy.
Finally, I got a good idea and tried it. I asked the man to play me a game of Reversi. It made the man interested and pleased. The first time, I won. The man felt a little angry and embarrassed. He asked me to play him another game. However, I refused. The man felt angrier and finally said the word I was waiting for. “I promise that, if you win again before I won two times, I will adopt you,” said the man. During the next game, I cheated him. I lost the game on purpose.
He felt satisfaction and confidence. Thus, he said to me with smile, “This is the last chance I will give you”. In the last game, I won by a huge margin. He groaned and said to me, “From now, you are my child."
After that, I could go to good school. It was even a private school! Therefore, I needed to study hard. When Iwent to high school, I participated in the student council because my parents wanted me to so much. It was good practice for business. (I recommend it.) When I was a junior, my adoptive parents were killed in a car accident. Therefore, I inherited a huge sum of money. However, I didn’t waste the money. I felt sad and I wanted to forget it, so I studied hard.
When I was eighteen years old, I went to the ELC at BYU. I went there to acquire English. I wanted to get a good job. I wanted to work internationally. English was very important at that time. (Now, we don’t need to study other languages because we have good translation machines.) After I graduated from the ELC, I went to BYU. I studied about mechanical engineering there. I studied harder and harder every day.
One year before I graduated from BYU, I finally invented a car that can fly in the sky. Therefore, I got a patent and a huge amount of money. I founded a car company called Sky Automobile and I got more money. Next year, I changed the company name from Sky Automobile to H2 Sky Company, because the car’s fuel was hydrogen and my initials are H.H. Three years after this, I built a huge house with a pool and tennis court. It was my dream.
My dream had come true, but I didn’t have a wife. I was already twenty-six years old, so I wanted to marry someone who was a nice lady! I put an advertisement in the papers, on the radio, and, of course, on T.V. Many ladies gathered all over the world. However, it was too many, so I couldn’t make a choice. I gave up the idea of marrying someone and went on a trip to rest from all the pressure. I traveled to many places like Canada, Germany, and Spain. When I went to Milan in Italy, I met a very beautiful lady.
The moment I saw her, I felt shocked, and I fell in love with her at first glance. I couldn’t think about anything but her. Therefore, I took an extended vacation to spend time with her. Her name is Mika. She was twenty-four years old. She is half Japanese and half Italian, so she can cook Japanese food. (Actually, this is very important for me.) Her hobby is playing tennis. It was a good thing for me because I have a tennis court in my yard.
After a month, we were married in a beautiful church in Milan. After that, my wife had triplets. How I was pleased with this! I gave a my children a good education and a good environment. Therefore, they grew up in a good way. One became an astronaut. His name is Tsutomu. This name means “effort” in Japanese. Another became a star. Her name is Yuuki. This name means “courage” in Japanese. The last one succeeded to my company. Her name is Megumi. This name means “blessing” in Japanese. Now, they take care of my wife and me. Therefore, I am very happy.
I wish, finally, to write about my property. I will give my children a huge amount of property the day I die. Please take care of my wife and my dog called “Tiny”. In addition to this, I want to teach you about my ancestors' treasure and my treasure. I will leave one map and nine pictures. Use these hints, and please find it! I think it is not so hard. Always remember the words I gave you! Please keep good relationships with each other. I pray for your success. Good luck, my children!
