On the morning of the third day, he made 50,000 dollars, so he went to the merchant to get the gold watch. But the merchant told him,"I already have a better choice." I've already given the gold watch to an artist who passed by." Kalashnikov was very disappointed but he did not give up. He decided to continue working hard until he earned enough money to get that gold watch. He continued to work hard to earn more money in the next few months. In the end, he earned enough money to get the gold watch. Even though he got the gold watch, his mood didn't improve. He felt that he was still very poor and very disappointed. This was the story of Nikolay Sergeyevich Kalashnikov. He finally got what he wanted through his hard work, but his mood didn't improve.
