He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valua¬ble lesson today. No matter (无论) what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value (价值). It was still worth ¥ l00!”Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crum¬pled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing.
