No me ha gustado nada el final. Es algo personal. No me gustan esos tipos de finales.
Por lo demás, es una buena historia para lectores que están empezando a leer en inglés. Gramática y vocabulario sencillo. En eso cumple su función.

I did not like the end of this book. It's something personal, I hate those kinds of endings.
Otherwise, it's a good story for starter English readers. Easy grammar and vocabulary.

Charlie, he is a boy, does not go to school. He is a shoeshine boy. He works all day.
One day, he picked up a lottery ticket. Perhaps it was winning number. But whether it was a winning number is not written in this book. This book does not have final story .
I think the lottery ticket was winning number. And he came to go to school.

The story doesn't make much sense and possibly might be a source of confusion for learners.
