Passage B

Harli Jordean is not your average eight year old. While his friends are playing computer games, he is busy with the day­to­day operations of his Internet marble (弹珠)kingdom.

Little Harli, from London, has been running successfully the marbleking.co.uk website for two years, selling anything from common marbles that are worth a few pounds to ￡599 limited edition Duke of York solitaire(单人跳棋) tables. The company is now turning over thousands of pounds each year-with orders flooding in from as far away as America.

Harli said, "My dream is to have a chain of stores-it will be one of the biggest toy stores in the world but selling all sorts of marbles."

Harli started his way to becoming a millionaire when he innocently began trading marbles with friends in the playground. When some older kids took all his marbles, Harli turned to the bank of mum to buy him some more on the net.

And after they struggled to find anywhere completely designed to sell Harli's favourite toy, he begged his mum, Tina, to let him start his own site. He said, "In my marbles store, anyone who likes marbles will not become frustrated with the lack of marble choice."

Tina, 51, said, "My thinking was it would be a good way to teach Harli some great life skills and show him responsibility. I never though it would become so popular-we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times."

Tina added, "Harli has a hand in everything. He picks out products by himself and when orders come in he handles it all, packing, sending-everything. All I do is the accounts and try and move in his overenthusiastic ideas. He's very enthusiastic even getting me to drive him to deliver a package when we realized it wouldn't get there on time in the post."
