June and I were both poor when we were young. At that time, June always said, “ If I got rich, I would buy a bigger apartment and a new wardrobe(衣柜).” Of course, she said this just for fun and she never imagined that she would really become rich.
A few years ago, June was surprised and excited when she came into a fortune(财产) from her uncle, who had been single. After receiving it, she made a shopping list. On it she wrote down all the ways she could use to spend the money. Every time I told her not to spend all of the money and to save some, she would always say impatiently(不耐烦的), “ I know, I know!”
One day, when I was in June’s home, she passed a piece of paper to me. “I thought over your suggestion for several nights. I’ve decided how to use the money. I hope my money will be helpful to those who need help,” she said.
I was pleased to hear what she said. Then I took the paper and only saw the two words written by her: Charity and Family. I smiled and played a joke on her, “Don’t you want to move to a new apartment? That is what you have been dreaming of.”
“Actually, I have been looking forward to it, but now it doesn’t seem so important to me anymore,” she answered with a smile.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人), a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and write a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.
I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself.
