I didn’t make much money when I took the job in London. I always had simple meals.
One night, I felt very tired, so I sat outside in a small park and began to eat a small piece of bread.
A tall man who was not dressed well walked to me. He thought I had money and asked, “Sir, could you please give me some money?”
I said, “I don’t have any.”
He said, “I know the persons like you wouldn’t give anybody anything.”
I became very angry because he didn’t believe me. I looked at him and gave my wallet to him, “Look in my wallet.”
He then said “sorry” to me and opened his wallet and said, “Here I will give you some.”
I looked at him in surprise and said, “No, thank you.” And then I walked away.
Money is important, but I’d rather（宁愿） make it by working hard than get by asking others for it.
