11.Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard."I'll be the first millionaire in Coleford!"Richard used to boast.
"And you'll be sorry you knew me,"George would reply"because I'll be the best lawyer in town!"
George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street.It was hard to make money from books,which made the competition between them worse.
Now with only one bookshop in town,business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow,old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window,thinking about his former rival (竞争对手).Perhaps he missed him?
