Pasó la mejor parte de su juventud dibujando intensamente contra la oposición familiar, cuyos miembros habían vaticinado que acabaría pasando hambres.
Pero al entrar en la madurez dejó de ilustrar para muchas publicaciones y comenzó a prosperar despacio pero seguro. Más de una vez sacó a todos de apuros y siempre veía de obsequiarles una cuantiosa ayuda cuando regresaba de sus viajes. Poco a poco fué reuniendo una pequeña fortuna en fincas de renta e inversiones.
Culminó en comprar un pequeño hotel con restaurante en una zona de playa a donde dió empleo a todos sus parientes.
Y acabó sus días muy feliz dirigiendo sus empresas. Ya no viajaría más decidió. Ni tomaría más riesgos.
A pesar de que los billetes de cien dólares le quedaban perfectos.

ENGLISH VERSION.

He spent most of his youth drawing illustrations  for a living.
He did not stop being firm to his vocation to pen and ink in spite of catching hell from every member of the family whom insisted he get a real job.
Approaching close to middle age he started to travel and work for himself only.
No more deadlines with books and magazines.
He would always return from his travels and help his relatives out more than once with considerable sums of money.
He was frugal with his own expenses and was able to buy rental properties, which in time brought him enough revenue to acquire a small tourist spa by the sea. In this place he employed his entire family and ran his bussiness wisely. As he prospered he quit traveling. He found his haven and wanted no more risk. From now on he would keep making his bussiness grow. In spite of the fact that his hundred dollar bills were absolutely perfect.
