  He continued to crumple(弄皱)the 20-dollar note up.He then asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were on in the air.

  “Well,” he replied, “what if I do this?,” He dropped it on the ground and started to grind(磨)it into the floor with his shoe.He picked it up, now the note was crumpled and dirty.

  “Now, who still wants it?”

  “My friends, you have all learned a very valuable lesson.No matter what I did to the money ,you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value(价值).It was still worth $20.”

  “Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled ,and grounded into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances(情况)that come our way.We feel as though we are worthless; but no matter what happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value.”

  “Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased ,you are still priceless(无价的)to those who love you.The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by WHO WE ARE.”
