Uncle Pennybags Monopoly was not always a rich man.He did not always have private airplanes and golden topped canes.In Fact he did not have enough money even to buy his loved ones food.
Today, I am going to tell you a secret story of the early life of Mr Monopoly.The astonishing bit of the story is that in order to feed his family he had to become a pickpocket .Pickpocketing came to him as an idea to feed his family.
Once he was roaming around a busy street to look for some odd jobs.He saw a person quickly picking wallets from people’s pockets by banging into them and saying sorry. And then Mr.Monopoly got an idea to bang into the pickpocket himself.
One day, he banged into him with all his force on purpose and was able to collect some wallets at once. He had knocked the man unconscious and collected some money from those wallets.He was a skilled pickpocket in no time.
But there was only one problem.The police officer of that area, Mr.Edgar Mallory was always suspicious of him.So he had to be very careful with pickpocketing when officer was patrolling around and that is why he used to dress in an ordinary suit so that he would not be noticed by anyone.
Mr Monopoly had many children. But the smartest of them was Davidson .Davidson always dreamt of a bigger house with his own soundproof room as the other children were playful and loud. One day when Mr.Monopoly was getting ready for work ,the children argued about what they would buy and who will be the richest when they grow up.Some shouted gold and some shouted silver or platinum. But Davidson was the only one who shouted diamonds which silenced the other kids.People back then used to do crazy things for diamonds.Mr Monopoly wasn’t really paying attention as he was thinking about the rich people on street Seven and just hoped the officer wasn’t there. But as he left the house he was in a deep thought of what Davidson had said. Lost in his thoughts he accidentally banged into a man and mumbled a sorry under his blonde moustache which he was proud of as it made him anonymous. At that moment he forgot all about pickpocketing. While rubbing the dust off his clothes he remembered why he was here.He looked around and a bag caught his eye. His round face lit into a merry smile. He picked it up and peered inside and what he saw in the bag made him nearly drop the bag into a sewer taken by surprise. He clutched the bag tight and as we all read this line we wonder, what exactly is in this bag?
He gasped for joy for it was chalk full of diamonds! Big fat diamonds filled the bag. He ran towards his home ,his legs running as fast as they could. Holding his hat on his head to stop it from falling, holding the bag in the other, his moustache whipping in the wind. It wasn’t long before he was in front of his small house door. He rushed to the back yard and counted the diamonds. There were hundreds! And then there was another big surprise for him. The bag kept refilling itself!
This was a satisfactory for Mr Monopoly. He opened a factory which sold board games and earned a lot of money. And for the man who lost that bag, he kept looking for it! The early life of Mr. Monopoly explains a lot about this famous board game. The children, the jail and so many other things. Sshh! You don’t want to set mr Edgar Mallory running after uncle pennybags, do you? He makes such good games after all!
