Kira and a Dog named Money-- Selected Translation

1. Most people want to be rich, only some of them have a strong desire for it, while others pretend that they are satisfied with what they have. In fact, most people want more happiness, more success, and more money.
   There’s no need to accuse this kind of wish, because becoming rich is the privilege that we are born with. If we have enough money, we will have a dignified life, and thus to help ourselves and others. For those who think that we need to bear with humble(or poor) life, and think this is the representation of having a higher moral ethical–is completely wrong.
2. When people are reading other’s stories, instead of trying to think of the principles beneath it, they will try to do the same things as the people in those successful man’s stories.
3. Complex narration will have the potential danger of deviating from the essence. but telling some basic facts will have those dangers too. Because we will jump into the conclusion quickly by thinking: I know this already. As if knowing a few keywords is enough, but it’s not.

“So I suggest you,” Money said, “please write down 10 reasons why you should become rich, in other words, your ten wishes. make sure you write them down before tomorrow, and we will have a walk at that time.”
Kira feels like it’s just way too early for her to learn about financial knowledge, after all, she is just a 9 years old girl! And more importantly, based on her parents’ experience, money is definitely not a good thing.
