A man named Johnson won a bet of #30,000,000 with his wife and kids. He was so happy that he wanted to celebrate it big. He decided to call his friends to celebrate it. He gathered a lot of people and they all celebrated it together. His wife told him not to do any celebration and start a business instead. He shunned her and went on with the celebration. He spent a lot of money amounting to #20,000,000.He lavishes it and no one queried how he got the money and how to spend it. The celebration was a big one in town and everyone talked about it for weeks.

He decided to open a business for his wife and himself. He opened a clothing store for her and opened a mini market for himself. His business was blooming but not that much, because he did not invest a good amount of capital into it. Instead of him to save the little profit he got,he would rather spend it on drinks and lavish it.

His wife noticed his flamboyant attitude and warned him to stop all these and make plans. He sent her away from his house and his surroundings. She took her children and left him alone. She never asked for a divorce because, she knows what is going on with him. She raised most of the profit she made and decided to open a new branch. She took care of her business and got linked with a lot of wealthy people. They sponsored her business more,which made her build a clothing company.

Johnson's business on the other hand was crashing and he didn't have any money to reestablish it. It dawned on him that all his wife had been saying was true. He went to her to beg for her forgiveness and explained his plight to her. She forgave him and told him that "opportunity comes but once".
