Have you ever heard of a girl of 15, who set up a company of her own? Wendy Wong is the girl. She started the business two years ago. She has already written several successful computer games. They are so popular that over half a million games are sold every year. Now all of her family work in her business and she is still at school.
She gets up early in the morning, and then she talks with her family about the business over breakfast. Every day she goes to school in her own car with a driver, for she is not old enough.
She enjoys her school, but some of the work is too easy for her to feel interested. She usually gets 'A' grades in all her subjects, so the other students often ask her for help.
She finishes her homework in half an hour after her driver takes her home. After dinner, she goes to her office and goes on working on her computer, writing games until 2 am. She does not usually need so much sleep as other children.

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present. On Christmas Eve, when Paul came out of his office, a boy was walking around the shining car. "Is this your car, Sir?" he asked. Paul answered, "Yes, my brother gave it to me for Christmas." The boy was surprised. "You mean your brother gave it to you and it did not cost you anything? I wish..." He didn't finish.
Of course, Paul knew what he was going to wish for. He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
"I wish," the boy went on, "that I could be a brother like that." Paul looked at the boy in surprise, and then he said, "Would you like to take a ride in my car?" "Oh yes, I'd love that."
After a short ride, the boy turned and with his eyes shining, said, "Sir, would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little. He thought he knew what the boy wanted. He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. "Will you stop where those two steps are?" the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while, Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There it is, buddy(兄弟), just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it... then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the little boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.
