Of course, the remainder (余款) had to 4 with interest (利息) over a period of twenty years or so.

  

    The worker and his wife hopefully went to one of these companies 5 this wonderful offer. And the man in the office said." Yes, sure. You 6 along $ 1,000 and we can    7 you with a new house."

  

    So the worker and his wife    8 to work hard and in twelve months' time they returned to the building man with $ 1, 000. But the man in the office said, "Look, I'm sorry, 9 we'll need $ 1, 500 now. 10 have gone up since we saw you last, you know."

    "Well,"said the man. "I think we can sterilize (稳定)the 20   for about twelve months. By the time you come with $ 3,000, we will have had the house 21 for you."

    The couple left, sad at 22 as they saw their dream house 23. By the time they had saved the extra $ 1, 500, 24 the deposit would have become 25, maybe $ 5, 000, then $ 10,000 and then…!
