The Man from the South by Roald Dahl

I like this story a lot along watching the movie. This story has a surprising ending and the characters portrayed in the story was excellent. The storyline caught my attention with the old man trying to persuade the young boy to gamble with him. The bet was to see if the boy can light up his zippo lighter ten times without missing. In return, the boy would get a car and the old man only wants the boy's fingers. The story was convincing in the end where the lady shows up and only two fingers left.
