3. They saw Henry’s personalities.

Why did the two brothers choose Henry for their bet?

1. It was his first visit to London, so nobody knew him.

2. He had no money, so he would have to rely on the bank note.

passage by working as an unpaid

hand.

•Could you offer me some kind of

work here?

•I don’t want your charity. I just

want an honest job.

WaiterHostessOwner

Whose behavior changes the most during this scene?

Henry The owner

Before showing the large note

He had a good meal and waited an unexpected result

He treated Henry coldly, impatiently and rudely

After showing the large note

He enjoyed a free meal and could further do the same without any limitation

He treated Henry warmly, gratefully and respectfully

The owner is snobbish and impressed by how much money somebody has.

The Changes of The Owner’s Behavior What kind of person is the owner?

We shouldn’t judge people by appearance.

What can we learn from this story?

The writer mocked the phenomenon---

″ ___________Worship”Money

If you’re penniless, people don’t really

want to know you, let alone help you; but if

you have money then people will bend over

backwards for you, even making it their

business to seek you out.

Money Worship Reflect upon the mad irony that people are

willing to do things for free in order to flatter

to those who have money, rather than for

those who actually need their charity.

All in all, Money cannot buy All in all, Money cannot buy everything.everything.

Money Is Money Is ?? Money can buy a house, but not a home.

Money can buy a bed, but not sleep.

Money can buy a clock, but not time.

Money can buy a book, but not knowledge.

Money can buy you a position, but not respect.

Money can buy you medicine, but not health.

Money can buy a friend, but not love.

Money can buy you blood, but not life.

Money Is Money Is not everything! not everything!

• We can admire the generosity and vision of all three men , but we should leave the last word to Rockefeller’s colleague, Raymond Fosdick. He wrote that it’s a mistake to think “that money can create ideas, and that a great deal of money can create better ideas. You cannot buy scientists or poets.”

Waiter

It’ll cost a tiny bit.

What’s there to wait for?

Again, everything?

My goodness! Why, look at him.He eats like a wolf.

He’s in rags.

And you put him in the back of the restaurant! Go and see him at once!

Hostess

Owner

That one’s reserved.

Now perhaps if you pay the bill I can help the other customers.

I’m sorry, sir, so sorry…

Doesn't matter at all. We are so very glad that you even entered our little eating place.

Just having you sit here is a great honor! Forget the bill.

It would be wrong of me not to trust a gentleman such as yourself, sir.

It’s for us to thank you, from my heart!
