When he was a boy he ran away from ho

27、me to work on a ship. However, his father soon found him and brought him home. After that he decided that any future travel he did would be in books. In 1847 his father sent Jules to Paris to study to be a lawyer. Even though he was busy writing, Verne passed his exams in 1849 with high marks. When

28、Jules told his father he did not want to be a lawyer, his father was very angry. He stopped sending his son any money, so Jules had to earn a living by his writing. Over the next few years he wrote many stories and plays, which brought him only a little money. Then, in 1856, he met Honorine de Viane

29、, a rich, young widow with two children. The couple married the next year. After his marriage, Verne worked as a businessman in Paris.

36、ill manage to find some way of budgeting so the money we save can be used for other purposes.I think that the best way to enjoy your pocket money would be to enjoy those treats that come occasionally.
