【正确答案】:Hughie Erskine was a charming young man who was in love with a nice girl named Laura Merton. Laura's father made it clear to Hughie that he would not marry his daughter to Hughie until he got ten thousand pounds.
One day,Hughie went to see his artist friend, Alan Trevor,in this 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 out a cheque for ten thousand pound the very next day. The couple were happily married,and the “beggar” attended their wedding.
In the story the writer tries to say that a genuine millionaire is not one who has, but one who gives.
