Bill's dream came true.That morning the plane really crashed just after it had taken off.Later Mr. Robertson returned to his office and heard the accident.To express his thanks,Mr. Robertson gave Bill 5,000 dollars with a letter.Mr. Robertson told Bill that a man like him should be dismissed(解雇).Bill was surprised and asked,“For what reason?” Mr. Robertson said.“Go home and read the letter,and you’ll know why.”
