How I became rich

Once upon a time, there was a guy named Rishub, who was a guy that wanted to start his own company. He was very indolence, so nobody thought he could engender anything of his own. He wanted to make an invention that let kids not go to school, but still learn. He would make a helmet that you would put on your head once, so you can learn everything known to man. Then, everyone could be smart, and get any job they wanted.
The only problem was that he dearth the ability to make anything. Rishub had no idea what to do. So, he hired some nerds to do this job. He was very rich, so he could pay them a lot. They got to work, and finished it in a few weeks. All he had to do was get it approved, and start the business.
But, there was a very stupid guy named Shivaum who thought he could make something of his own. He needed to stop Rishub, and sell his first. So, one night Shivaum sneaked in, and he vitiated Rishub's design. Rishub saw Shivaum destroying everything, so he pacified him, and told him to leave. Shivaum pretended to calm down, and left because his job was done, and he destroyed it already.
Then Rishub started his company, and sold his product, but it didn't work. He realized that it wasn't functioning because of Shivaum. He went to Shivuam, and told him to fix the problem. Rishub did not want to spend his own money, so he told Shivuam to. Shivaum hired the nerds to do the job. Rishub's helmet worked, so he started the company again. He was successful, and became the richest man on earth. Shivaum was taught not to mess with others, or he will be punished, and not get what he wants.
