　　Many times my friend June would say,“If I ever get rich, I’m getting a completely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment．”I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine．But, to everyone’s surprise, a few years ago June did come into a large inheritance(遗产)．

　　At first June said very little about the money．As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared, she became excited．June is a great believer in making lists, so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth．

　　As time went on, what had been midway down the column was now at the top．At last, I said to her,“You know, it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once．Take some time; think about it．”“I know, I know,”she answered with a little bit anger．

　　Then one morning June called．“I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance．I want to see what you think,”she said．This wasn’t something I looked forward to, but we had been friends so long．

　　As we sat, June spread a sheet of paper on the table．To my great surprise, she had written only two words：Charities(慈善), and Grandchildren－in that order．Though I had vowed(发誓)to keep quiet, I couldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision．

　　“Well,”she said,“I took your advice and thought about it．”She added,“Helping others means a lot to me, so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need．”

　　I interrupted．“But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”

　　“At first it was hard, but it doesn’t seem as important any more,”she answered with a smile．

　　Then June moved her hand, and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page．After having a look at the small print, I burst into laughter．June had written：AND one new wardrobe．

Michael:War Horse was published in 1982,and it did not sell very well.But my publishers kept it in print,along with all my books.I am very grateful to Egmont and I’m sure now they are very grateful to themselves.

In 2009 kathy kennedy,the producer who worked with Steven Spielberg,walked into the New London Theatre to see the play because her daughter liked it very much.She then phoned Spielberg and told him this would be his next film!The way it all happened is better than any of my stories.War Horse has now sold over 1 million copies.
Reporter:Has War Horse changed your life?
Michael:It has made all the difference in the world.The most important gift it has given us is not to have to worry about money,because there has always been a slight anxiety.It has allowed us to ensure our grandchildren’s education.There is a disadvantage to it as well,which is an assumption that I am super rich.I’m not,actually.It is very nice and completely unexpected but I have got to go on writing.If I were younger,I think,it would go to my head.Now I am too old for anything to go to my head.It is not the same as winning the lottery(彩票)。
