rich man poor man-5.2

Another man was in the room. He was drinking.
译
"This is Mr Sheth," said the tall man.
译
"I am Adam of Minta village," I replied.
译
"Yes, I know," said Mr Sheth. "Thank you for the letter. I hope I can help you. I like to help people. Please, sit down." Mr Sheth smiled. His clothes were new and smart.
译
"Thank you," I said.
译
"Can I see the money order, please?" Mr Sheth asked.
译
I took the money order out of my pocket.
译
By now, the money order was dirty and looked very old.
译
I gave it to Mr Sheth. "This money order is for one hundred pounds," I said. "My son sent it from a foreign country."
译
Mr Sheth unfolded the money order and looked at it.
译
"You can't change this money order," he said. "This money order is not worth one hundred pounds. This money order is worth nothing."
译
"Worth nothing! Worthless?" I asked.
译
Then Mr Sheth looked at the money order again.
译
"Yes, worthless. Your son does not understand about money orders. This money order is not correct for our country," Mr Sheth said.
译

Then he looked at the money order again and said, "And this money order is also old. It is out-of-date."
