"My money has finished and my friends have gone," said the young man, "What will happen to me now?" "Don't worry , young man," answered John, "Everything will soon be all right again. Wait, and you will soon feel much happier." The young man was very glad. "Am I going to get rich again then? "he asked John. "No, I didn't mean that," said the old man." I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends."
