Gambling

Did you know that over 50% of people in the United States gamble? In the short story The Professor of Smells by Laurence Yep there is a guy who gambled on everything. This is very bad because soon he won’t be able to do anything but gamble on stupid things. Gambling is a terrible thing to do, because you can lose all your money, and more.

One day, the guy who has the gambling problem came home, to his wife, and he didn’t have any money. This made the character, Chung’s wife very disappointed in shock. I know I would be really mad and sad if that happened to me. Chung bet all his money, and lost.

I wouldn’t say Chung was lucky, but the situation could’ve been worse than just losing all his money. He could have lost his house, clothes, and much more. This isn’t something to joke about, so what I’ve realized is that I should never gamble, because you lose all your money!
