“For the money.”

　　“But you know I’ve cheated you—robbed you！I have actually stolen from you！Why this ‘merci’？ ”

　　“In my other places they didn’t give me anything at all.”

　　“They didn’t give you anything？No wonder！I played a little joke on you，a cruel lesson，just to teach you...I’m going to give you all the eighty dollars！Here they are in the envelope all ready for you...Is it really possible to be so spineless(懦弱)？Why didn’t you protest？Why were you silent？Is it possible in this world to be without teeth and claws(爪)—to be such a fool？”

　　Embarrassed，she smiled.And I could read her expression，“It is possible.”

　　I asked her pardon for the cruel lesson and，to her great surprise，gave her the eighty dollars.She murmured her little “merci”several times and went out.I looked at her and thought，“How easy it is to crush the weak in this world！”
