Question

Mr. Clarke joined the army when he was eighteen. Four years later he came back to his hometown and found work in a post office. He worked hard but he liked drinking and it brought him a lot of trouble. One day he drank too much and lost a mailbag and he was soon sent away. He couldn’t find any work in the town and he had to beg(乞讨) in the street. Now his clothes are dirty and broken and sometimes he’s hungry. 
One morning he was begging at the station. He saw a woman in beautiful clothes come out by the exit. He went close to her and hoped that she gave him some money. The woman had a look at him and hurried to cover her nose with her hand.
“It seems that you have come from the hell（地狱）.” The woman called out.
Mr. Clarke understood she was such a woman who never helped the poor and said, “You’re right, madam. I’m really from the hell.”
“Why not stay there, then?”
“There is no room for the poor people like me.” said Mr. Clarke.  “Only the rich men live there!”
