Something very mysterious happened in Tokyo in 2007. For a few weeks, many civil servants who
went to the toilet found a 10,000-yen note waiting
for them. Nobody knows who left the notes but it
(a) (be) the same person because
they left handwritten messages with the notes and
the writing was always the same. They are quite sure
that a woman (b) (leave) the notes
because they always appeared in the men’s toilet.
More than 425 people found notes, so the man
(c) (have) a lot of money. He always
left the message ‘Please be happy’ with the money.
This suggests that the man (d)
(be) happy himself, but, of course, we can’t be sure.
Again, nobody can be sure, but other people think
that the man (e) (work) as a civil
servant himself once and he gave the money away to
make other civil servants happy. One thing is clear:
he (f) (move) quickly because in one
morning, he left eighteen 10,000-yen notes in eighteen
different toilets in Tokyo. The man’s handwriting
was getting worse and worse and so people think he
(g) (have) a terminal illness. That
probably explains why he was giving away all his
money. Unfortunately, the man (h)
(die) because the notes suddenly stopped appearing.
