Ernest was living with his wife and two children. He was working as a mechanic and his wife stayed home with the children. He gave his wife a small business in front of their house. They were living paycheck. Sometimes in the middle of the month, the food in the house is already finished. His wife used her business money to carter for the children.

They were living day by day. They have to pay school fees for the children. Ernest had an accident on his job, he had to stay home. Things started to be bad. They cannot manage their wife's businesses only. They had suffered, even the school fees they could not pay. His husband went back to work but the boss let him go. He had lost his job. They did not know what to do. Ernest had a small savings in his account. He had decided to go to the bank and get some money, to see if he could buy some items and resale them.

When he gets to the bank, it put his card in the machine. The clerk told him, You have a lot of cash on your account. He was confused and asked to see the manager. When the manager came he told him that you have ten million in your account congratulation. He was chock and could not understand the fortune. Anyway, he was happy and take some money and go home.

When he got home, he delivered the news to his wife. Both are really happy. They take the money and open a shop. Pay their children's school fees. Go shopping buy new clothes for the family and enjoy the wealth. They had to travel on vacation. His wife told him that they will keep some money in the saving.

They gave family members some money. They had lived a luxurious life. They had invested some of the money in property. They help others who need support. They are living a good life. Things will fall apart when they had received phone calls from the bank. They asked Ernest to come immediately.

Ernest was surprised and went there quickly. The manager came and told him that the money was put in his account mistakenly. That he will need to provide every penny that he took from his account. Ernest told the manager that this is not his problem. He is left the bank angry. When he gets home, he has to tell his wife the news. She could not say a word. It is their fault or the bank that Ernest keeps asking himself. A part of the money is gone, some of them invested and they had some in the saving account.

The bank keeps pushing them to give back the money. They had threatened them that they will go to court. Ernest and his wife had decided to the left where they are living and relocated to another city. But they felt bad. They had decided to compromise with them. They will give what they had in their saving. Give them some money every month from their business. Until they will pay back the money.

Because of their generosity, the bank asked them to give some of the money and they can take the rest for upbringing. Wow, both parties were happy. Ernest and his wife were happy with the decision that they took. Now they can live peacefully without remorse. Everybody is winning. Their business became bigger. No going back to poverty. In any situation that you are do not let money get into you. Do the right things, Your life will be better.
