I read a book called The House on the Hill. Paul was a main character in this story. He lived in a small town and he was poor. He wanted to be a writer and work for a newspaper.
One day, he went for a walk and went down to the river. Suddenly he saw the girl named Maria. She was very beautiful and soon Paul fell in love. Maria said she liked Paul too. Paul asked her to marry with him but she looked very sad and ran away. He did not understand her. He went to the house on the hill with the servant. Maria's mother said to him that he couldn't marry Maria because he was poor. He was very sad. One day, he saw the newspaper that was about Maria's wedding. Her husband was old and fat. Paul turned the newspaper over angrily. He saw an advertisement about Story Competition on the back page of the newspaper. He decided to write his story for the competition. Two weeks later, a letter came from the newspaper. He won first prize! He also got the job. He loved his work on the newspaper. He worked hard. One day, a reporter came into the office and told everyone that Maria ran away from her husband and it killed her mother.
Paul went to her mother's funeral. Maria looked sad. Nobody spoke to her. He thought about her when he went home. He wanted to see Maria and wanted to talk to her. He went to the house on the hill. He was looking for Maria. She looked like her mother. She didn't like Paul. She only liked money. Paul didn't like Maria anymore.
I enjoyed the story. I don't like people who think money is the most important thing in the world. I think love is more important than money. I hope Paul can find his true love!
