爱情与金钱(Love or money)

Just now I read an article named "For Love or For Money?" I think that there is a deep truth in it. The story means many people show more important to money than love.

Here is the story:

An elderly man on the beach found a magic lamp. He picked it up and a genie appeared. "Because you have freed me," the genie said. "I will grand you a wish."

The man thought for a moment and then responded, "my brother and I had a fight 30 years ago and he hasn't spoken to me since. I wish that he'll finally forgive me."

There was thunderclap, and the genie declared, "Your wish has been granted, You know, " the genie continued, "most men would have asked for wealth or fame. But you only wanted the love of your brother. Is it because you are old and dying? "

"No way! " the man cried. "But my brother is, and he's worth about 60 million."hxw.red
