[B][SIZE=5]Casinos have been banned in Brazil since 1946. One of the most widely accepted theories is that the wife of the country's president in 1946, who was very religious and had contacts with church authorities, asked her husband to ban gambling establishments in Brazil.[/SIZE][/B]
[SIZE=5][B]To this day, despite much debate, physical casinos are still not allowed, only a few online gambling sites.
A close friend told me this story:
His father, being a skilled card player, decided to open a casino.
When gamblers lost their bets, they often left not only money but also jewelry, such as engagement rings, wedding rings, and even properties with the casino owner. The wives of these gamblers would come to the casino to beg for the return of their possessions, which were practically pawned. The casino owner often returned these possessions, taking pity on the pleas of the gamblers' wives and families. However, one day he was arrested for engaging in this illegal activity. He had a young son who was very intelligent. The boy was only three and a half years old when he read the headline on the front page of a local newspaper about his father's arrest. His mother was stunned to discover that those were the first words her son had ever read.[/B][/SIZE]
[B][SIZE=5]My friend was that boy. 
He remembers this feat to this day, even though he was so young at the time.[/SIZE][/B]
