The legacy

He was a singular character. From an early age he had the ability to discover the weaknesses of the people who lived with him  and he learned to make the most of their relationships with others.
One day, he was on a terrace with a friend he was duping to make for him a dirty job. Suddenly he realized that someone was watching him from across the street. He became livid when he recognized a former partner who had swindled. Not knew what to do. He turned his head, mumbled something to his friend and quickly rose to try to escape in the opposite direction that had seen his former partner. He had no time. He had reached his height and calledhim by his name. Terrified he turned and his former partner with a happy face embraced him warmly.

-My dear friend, you do not know how happy I am to see you again. Do you remember those lands that sold me at a very cheap price? Due to a clerical double error, these lands were not registered in your name in the registry of property, but of an official who had died without family, and also its extension was ten times that had sold me. The owner had given instructions that his testament should be opened if someone appear asking for those fields. It surprisingly in his will he declared that these lands would pass into the hands of the person concerned. These lands are urban lands, so thank to you, I am rich.
