在金钱面前,友情能否经受住考验?
在金钱面前,友情能否经受住考验?

In a small village, there were two best friends. They were Anthony and Colin. They were very different. Colin was honest, but Anthony wasn’t.

One day, Anthony said to Colin, “Why don’t we start a business (生意) together?” Colin said yes. So the two went to a big city and started their business.

After a few months, the two friends made a lot of money. They started to go back to their village. On the way, they met a forest and rested there. That night, Anthony wanted to take all the money away. He got a bad idea.

The next day, he said to Colin, “Let us bury (埋) all the money here. We can come back together when we need money.” Colin said yes and they buried the money under a tree.

That night, Anthony went back to the forest and got all the money. The next morning, he went to Colin’s house and said, “I need some money. Let us go and bring some of our money back.” They went to the tree and started to work. They did not find any money. Anthony said Colin took it.
