Many times my friend June would say,“If I ever get rich,I’m getting a completely new wardrobe and moving into a bigger apartment.” I thought of her words and her chances of being rich are about as good as mine.But,to everyone’s surprise,a few years ago June did come into a large inheritance(遗产).
At first June said very little about the money.As the initial(最初的)shock disappeared,she became excited.June is a great believer in making lists,so I wasn’t surprised to find her writing down all the ways she would spend her new wealth.
As time went on,what had been midway down the column was now at the top.At last,I said to her,“You know,it isn’t necessary to spend all your inheritance at once.Take some time; think about it.” “I know,I know,” she answered with a little bit anger.
Then one morning June called.“I’ve decided how I want to use my new inheritance.I want to see what you think,” she said.This wasn’t something I looked forward to,but we had been friends so long.
As we sat,June spread a sheet of paper on the table.To my great surprise,she had written only two words:Charities(慈善),and Grandchildren---in that order.Though I had vowed(发誓)to keep quiet,Icouldn’t keep from asking how she came to this decision.
“Well,” she said,“I took your advice and thought about it.” She added,“Helping others means a lot to me,so I’m hoping this gift will help people in need.”
I interrupted.“But what about this big apartment you most hope to have?”
“At first it was hard,but it doesn’t seem as important any more,” she answered with a smile.[来源:Z#xx#k.Com]
Then June moved her hand,and I could see a few words written in tiny letters at the bottom of the page.After having a look at the small print,I burst into laughter.June had written:AND one new wardrobe.

我的朋友June很多次说,如果我有钱了,我要买一个全新的衣橱和搬到一个大点的公寓里.我想起了她的话,她变富裕的机会就跟我的机会一样.但是令所有人吃惊的是,几年前,June继承了一大笔遗产.
起初,June很少说道关于钱的事情.当最初的震惊消失,她变得兴奋.June非常喜欢列清单,所以我不奇怪她会写下她将花费新财富的所有的方式.
随着时间的迁移,中途的清单现在变到了上方的位置,最后,我对她说:你知道,没有必要马上花光你所有的遗产.花些时间,考虑一下吧.我知道,我知道,她略微生气地回答.
然后某天早上,June打来电话说:我已经决定怎么使用我的新遗产了.我想看看你怎么想的,她说.这不是我期望的事情,但是我们都是老朋友了.
我们坐下,June在桌上铺开了一张纸.令我非常惊奇的是,她在那张单上只写了两个字:慈善和孙子.虽然我发誓我要保持安静,但是我还是忍不住问她怎么会做出这个决定.
恩,她说,我听了你的建议,考虑了一下,补充道,帮助他人对我意义重大,所以我希望这个天赐予的东西将帮助需要帮助的人们.
我打断她:但是你最希望拥有的这个大公寓怎么办呢?
她微笑着答道"起初很难,但是现在看起来不再重要了.
然后June摇动着她的手,我能看到纸张的底部用微笑的字母写的几个字.看了看那些小字体后,我放声大笑.June写道:还要一个新的衣橱.
