In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.

Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And

even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he

is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story

of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his

neighbors.

The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by

the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he

began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money

in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got

married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood

outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When

he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse riding every

day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his

wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.

It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because

one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do

that.

The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their

new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved

back to an apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do

things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of

it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping

up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the

United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping

up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different

newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

Every city has an area where people want to live because others

will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every

city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the

Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to

be ahead.

A certain hunter had found a piece of forest where there were

plenty of animals to hunt. The only trouble was that the place was

very difficult to get to.

He returned from his first visit to the place in late autumn, and

could not get back until the snow melted in the following spring.

Then he went to the pilot of a small plane, who earned his living by
