If you don’t give them water, they die.” I 29 as a child I said something 30 about somebody, and father said, “31 time you say something unpleasant about somebody else, it’s a reflection of you.” He explained that I looked for the best 32 people, I would get the best 33 .

  话题链接:You will remember that the Bank of England once issued two notes of a million pounds each, to be used for a special purpose connected with some public transaction with a foreign country.For some reason or other only one of these had been used and canceled; The other still lay in the vaults of the Bank.Well, the brothers, chatting along, happened to get to wondering what might be the fate of a perfectly honest and intelligent stranger who should be turned adrift in London without a friend, and with no money but that million-pound bank-note, and no way to account for his being in possession of it.Brother A said he would starve to death; Brother B said he wouldn't.Brother A said he couldn't offer it at a bank or anywhere else, because he would be arrested on the spot.So they went on disputing till Brother B said he would bet twenty thousand pounds that the man would live thirty days, anyway, on that million, and keep out of jail, too.Brother A took him up.Brother B went down to the Bank and bought that note.Just like an Englishman, you see; pluck to the backbone.Then he dictated a letter, which one of his clerks wrote out in a beautiful round hand, and then the two brothers sat at the window a whole day watching for the right man to give it to….

  他们物色了一个年轻人做试验。带着这张毫无使用价值的百万英镑钞票,年轻人经历如在梦中。年轻人得到了他想得到的,包括爱情和受人尊敬。他爱上的女孩正是兄弟B的女儿Portia,但是这个年轻人会过上幸福生活吗?

H:Mm, ah.

H:I can't hide much from you, can I, dear?We have lost our money.The railway company in Brazil has collapsed and all our money has disappeared.But I have a plan to help us.We can go back to America and start again.I can become a gold miner and we can make our fortune that way.

P:Leave London?Leave my father?Oh no, Henry, please!

H:I think it might be better for us.We would stand on our own feet.

P:(crying)I shall have to go home.You can't love me if you want to do this dreadful thing.

H:(putting his arms round her)Of course I do.It is for our sake that I suggest this.It will be an adventure.We will be able to travel where we like and I will be able to show you so many lovely places.

P:As long as you love me I shall be happy.
