1 . "Who wants to be a millionaire (百万富翁)? I don't," says Charles Gray.

Sixteen years ago, Charles was a college teacher with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune (财富) of $ 2 million. Today he lives in a small house where there is only second-hand furniture    1     There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees. Charles also grows some vegetables and a few flowers in it. He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity (慈善) shops.

But this is not a sad story. Charles was happy to give up the lifestyle of a rich man. He was tired of being one of the few who had a lot while many other people have nothing at all. He donated (捐赠) all his money to charities.    2    

"A few years ago,"says Charles,"I was a millionaire, but I knew there were a lot of hungry people in the world.”    3    When he only had two thousand dollars left, Charles handed out small bank notes in the streets of local poor areas. Did he feel like Father Christmas? "It was a lot of fun helping others, "says Charles.
