Mark Twain was asked one day if he could remember the first money he got.
He thought for a long time before answering and then said, "Yes, it was at school. I can remember everything about it. Schoolboys in those days never respected teachers and never took care of the things of the school. They often damaged (损坏) their desks. There was a rule in our school that anybody who damaged his desk with a pencil or knife would be beaten before the whole school or have to pay five dollars. "
"One day, I damaged my desk in some way. I had to tell my father I had broken the rule, and had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school. He agreed to give. My father said it would be too bad to have our face lost in front the whole school, he agreed to give me five dollars to hand over to the teacher. But before giving me the money he took me upstairs and gave me a beating." "But as I had had one beating and wasn’t afraid of it any more, I decided I would take another beating at school and keep the five dollars. So that was what I did. That was the first money I ever got. ”（一定有你要的答案），自己找一下选项就行了
