Hello.
I’m Max Kelada,
I may look middle eastern, but I’m British, and I am going to tell you an amazing story.

Few years ago, I have been on a ship that sailed from San Francisco to Yokohama.
I was really nervous about who is going to be my cabin roommate, I wanted him to be British.

I was very happy when I heard that my roommate’s name was Phillip Terry. I understood that he is British! just like me!
at first, he didn’t believe me that I am British, so I have shown him my passport, but I am pretty sure that he still didn’t believed me.

At dinner, I told him all my Exciting stories and gave him some brilliant thoughts that only a genius like can think. I think that he learned a lot.

In the ship, Me and my friends argued a lot, but of course that I won every time. Their are not even close to my league.

Because of my knowledge, everyone in the ship started admiring me, and wanted to be like me, they even started calling me “Mr Know All”.

And one day, we started talking about fake pearls, I have shown many knowledge, I am a pearls expert! That is my job to identify real pearls. so I said to everyone that i can always tell which pearls are real, and which are fake. Mr Ramsay, which was one of my fans in the ship, doubted it.

We yelled at each other for few minutes and then i noticed that Mr Ramsay’s wife had a necklace with real pearls.

Then I told Mr Ramsey: “those are pearls all right”. and Mrs Ramsay blushed. Mr Ramsay said that he didn’t buy himself but that he is sure that the pearls are fake. So we made a bet, if its real he will give me 100$, and if its fake, Ill give him 100$.

I took a close look at the necklace, and I found out that I was right, how surprising. but.. I looked at Mrs Ramsay, and I saw how afraid she was. I made the math. The fact that Mr Ramsay didn’t buy the necklace, plus the fact that he didn’t know that its real, plus the fact that Mr Ramsay doesn’t want him to know the truth… It all adds up to my conclusion- Mrs Ramsay cheated on Mr Ramsay. so I chose to lie, for Mrs Ramsay, and I said that Mr Ramsay was right and gave him 100$.

Then I went to my room with my awesome roomate, and a hundred dollar bill got into my room from the window, probably from Mrs Ramsay. I’m such a good person.
