【正确答案】：
     HUGHIE ERSKINE WAS A CHARMING YOUNG MAN WHO WAS IN LOVE WITH A NICE GIRL CALLED LAURA MERTON. LAURA'S FATHER MADE IT CLEAR TO HUGHIE THAT HE WOULD NOT LET HIS DAUGHTER MARRY HIM UNTIL HUGHIE HAD GOTTEN TEN THOUSAND POUNDS.
     ONE DAY, HUGHIE WENT TO SE HIS ARTIST FRIEND, ALAN TREVOR IN HIS STUDIO. THERE, HE FOUND HIS FRIEND PAINTING A BEGGAR, WHO WAS A WIZENED OLD MAN IN RAGS. HUGHIE FELT SO SORRY FOR THE POOR MODEL THAT HE GAVE HIM THE ONLY POUND HE HAD.
     THE OLD MODEL WAS ACTUALLY A MILLIONAIRE. WHEN HE HEARD ALL ABOUT HUGHIE AND LAURA, AND THEIR PROBLEM, HE MADE HIM OUT A CHEQUE FOR TEN THOUSAND POUNDS THE VERY NEXT DAY. THE COUPLE WERE HAPPILY MARRIED, AND THE "BEGGAR" ATTENDED THEIR WEDDING.
     THE STORY SHOWS THAT A RICH MAN IS NOT ONE WHO HAS, BUT ON WHO GIVES/A GOOD TURN DESERVES ANOTHER/A KIND MAN IS SURE TO BE REWARDED.
【题目解析】：
Hughie Erskine是个迷人的年轻人，他爱上了一个叫Laura Merton的漂亮姑娘。Laura 的父亲向Hughie明确表示，除非Hughie得到一万英镑，否则他不会让女儿嫁给他。
一天，Hughie去他的艺术家朋友Alan Trevor的工作室看他。在那里，他发现他的朋友正在画一个乞丐，一个衣衫褴褛的干瘪老人。Hughie为这个可怜的模特儿感到很难过，把他仅有的一英镑给了他。
那个老模特实际上是个百万富翁。当他听到Hughie和Laura的故事，以及他们之间的问题时，第二天就给他开了一张一万英镑的支票。这对夫妇幸福地结了婚，那个“乞丐”也参加了他们的婚礼。
这个故事告诉我们，一个富人并不是一个拥有财富的人，而是一个为别人做好事的人。
