　still　angry；　but　now　curious。　Even　ready　to　learn。

〃You　boys　are　the　first　people　that　have　ever　asked　me　to　teach　them　how　to　make　money。　I　have　more　than　150　employees；　and　not　one　of　them　has　asked　me　what　I　know　about　money。　They　ask　me　for　a　job　and　a　paycheck；　but　never　to　teach　them　about　money。　So　most　will　spend　the　best　years　of　their　lives　working　for　money；　not　really　understanding　what　it　is　they　are　working　for。〃

I　sat　there　listening　intently。

〃So　when　Mike　told　me　about　you　wanting　to　learn　how　to　make　money；　I　decided　to　design　a　course　that　was　close　to　real　life。　I　could　talk　until　I　was　blue　in　the　face；　but　you　wouldn't　hear　a　thing。　So　I　decided　to　let　life　push　you　around　a　bit　so　you　could　hear　me。　That's　why　I　only　paid　you　10　cents。〃

〃I　don't　understand；〃　I　said。

〃Don't　blame　me　for　your　problems；〃　rich　dad　said；
