His son looked surprised. “I can understand why I shouldn't pay too much, Father, but if I can pay less, not save a bit of money?”
“That would be a very (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy small village like ours,” Nick said.
Nick’s guests, had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt (cheap) if they could. Nick replied, “The only reason why a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was desperate for money. And anyone who took advantage of that situation would be showing a lack of respect the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”
“But such a small thing couldn't (possible) destroy a village.”
“In the beginning, there was only a very small amount of unfairness in the world, but everyone added a little, always (think) that it was only small and not very important, and look where we have ended up today.”
When (ask) to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines_ we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the _(good) friends you are, the more probable you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don’t let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences_(bring) out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong - even if you have been wronged .Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best,the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things your friend’s point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as needs and lifestyle change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the_(nature) ups and downs that have an effect__all relationships. My suggestion:Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).
