Speaking exercise

He went inside and tried to reach for that tiny little tennis ball and then when he couldn’t reach it with his short stubby hands, he asked the poor injured man for his crutch that he was using to support himself. When the man gave it to him, he reached out for the tennis ball, not realising that he had hit the man who fell to the ground, unconscious. Then he turned around with a M, E smile and fled into the dark night. The next day police arrived and found the old man crying and sobbing about MB stealing all his riches and then knocking him down. The next day the police came again and comforted the old man that they would help him to get insurance to cover all his expenses. However that wasn’t what the old man wanted. He was bloodthirsty. He wanted revenge. He didn’t want any riches. Didn’t care about them either.. all he wanted was the person who had cost him at least half a million dollars. Even though the police promised that he wold get all the money back he sent out a group of bodyguards to capture MB. The old man himself changed. He went into the closet and put on an elegant suit, pulled off his old and wrinkled mask and revealed himself as the most successful mafia boss. He was also a famous actor who had won at least 5 Oscars, a Grammy, and 2 AGT awards.
