Reading "Million Pounds" has a feeling.

I've read a lot of stories, but the one that stands out to me is Million Pounds. This is an article written by Mark Twain. The article was written with great humor, but it had great ironic significance, which deeply attracted me and exposed the ugly face of the society at that time.

A Million Pounds is about a poor, honest man, the protagonist of this story, who receives a letter from a pair of brothers who give him a million pounds. It turned out that the brothers had made a bet on what would happen to a poor, honest man if he received a million pounds from the sky. The elder brother thought that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, and would be suspicious of others, and even the bank would not let him deposit it.

The younger brother thought he would be doing well, so the brothers lent the poor man a cheque for a million pounds and stayed abroad for thirty days. Unexpectedly, during this period of time, people desperately wooed this rare rich man who suddenly became rich, from free meals, buying clothes, to free accommodation, one by one like a beggar to please him, and constantly improving his social status, until he reached the highest duke except for the royal family! Not only that, but he also got a good wife, £30,000 in bank interest, and ended up getting a good job from his two brothers.

Live a very, very happy life.

There is such a small clip of this protagonist, who gets a million pounds in bills and goes to a clothing store to buy clothes. When he first came to this clothing store, the clothing clerk saw that he was ragged and began to ignore him, took him to the clothes that were rejected by the customer, and found him one. Give him a look at it.

But when he took out a million bills, the clerk's attitude was simply a 360-degree change, and the smile covered his entire face, which made people feel uncomfortable. Then treat the millionaire wholeheartedly. It makes me feel ridiculous.

Although such a thing would never happen in real life, the author used such an exaggerated technique to satirize the modern society's concept of "money is omnipotent".

So this also tells us not to be a shameful miser and a slave of money like the people in it. Don't be a money worshipper, that will make others look down on you. There is one thing to remember:

Money is something outside the body, don't let money blind you, don't let money control you, so that you will see profit and forget righteousness, and embark on the road of no return.
