I once heard a news story about a man who is pretty lazy all the time, but he could always come up with some hilarious ideas to make easy money, just like what the fox does inthe movie Zootopia. And recently he got arrested because of something"unbelievable" he did.
I don't clearly remember when I knew this story, but I think I saw this story on TV. Here's the story. One day he was running out of money, so it was time for another scam, you know. He spent every penny he had left on a package tour to Dubai, which isthe wealthiest city in the Middle East and is packed with generous people who spend money like water. On the first day he set foot on Dubai, instead of checking in the hotel the travel agency had arranged, he went straight to the corner of a busy street, sat down and started to beg for money.And when it was getting dark, he just wrapped himself up in the blanket he prepared. According to what he said in a later interview, the reason why he didn't go back to the hotel was that he needed to have some professional ethics. Interesting, uh? Anyway, by the end of his trip, he had begged 470,000 RMB, which is a ridiculous amount of money that is impossible for an average person to make in a year!
I don't remember how he got arrested, and to be honest, I didn't realize it was a crime until someone told me that his tourist visa didn't allow him to work as a beggar in Dubai. The fact that he was fined a huge amount of money in the end has burst quite a few people's bubble who planned to copy him.
So I guess this story is interesting as well as educational.
