"The Million Pound Bank Note" by Mark Twain is a story of a penniless man who begs around London. He had came here after a boating incident which left him homeless and without money, rendering him unable to even return home to San Francisco.
In the story, the protagonist, Henry, was given a million pound note by two brothers who made a bet on him. Their bet was how Henry will react and behave with the money given to him. One brother bets that with the amount of money given, he will be able to survive a month without any trouble, while the other brother thinks that with the inability to cash the amount will render it useless. When Henry first realized the reality of the situation, the amount of money given to him, he comments that men have the nature of blaming people for their own faults. He says "<em>but I knew men well enough to know that when they find they've given a tramp a million-pound bill when they thought it was a one-pounder, they are in a frantic rage against him instead of quarreling with their own near-sightedness</em>". Men find it hard to accept their mistakes upfront and instead, tries to put the blame on someone first. This is satirized in the above excerpt of the short story.
