Story 3. A New Friend

There was a poor man who was very happy every day.

One day, a rich man came to him and said, "Here, take some money and tell me what makes you happy."

The man said, "No, thank you.

But I can give you something."

The rich man was surprised.

He said, "What can you give me?"

I have everything.

The man smiled and said, "I give you my friendship."

For the first time in a long while, the rich man smiled.

Money can't buy everything.
