《LOVE OR MONEY?》

Chapter 1

The Clarkson family lived in the country near Cambridge,about half a mile from the nearest village and about a mile from the river.They had a big,old house with a beautiful garden,a lot of flowers and many old.trees.

One Thursday morning in July,Jackie came in from the garden.She was a tall,fat woman,thirty years old.It was the hottest day of the year,but she wore a warm brown skirt and yellow shirt.She t into the kitchen to get a drink of water.Just then the phone rang.

'Cambridge 1379,'Jackie said.

'Hello.This is Diane.I want to talk to Mother.'

'Mother isn't here,'Jackie said.'She's at the doctor's.'

'Why?What's Wrong?'

'Nothing's wrong,'Jackie said.'Why are you telephoning? You are going to e this weekend? Mother wants everyone to be here.'

'Yes,I want to e,'Diane said.'I'm phoning because I have no money for the train ticket.'

'No money!Mother is always giving you money!'

'This phone call is very expensive,'Diane said coldly.'Tell Mother please.I need the money.'

Jackie put the phone down.She took a cigarette from her bag and began to smoke.She felt angry because her sister al-ways asked for money.Diane was tty years old, the youngest in the family.She lived in London,in one room of a big house.She wanted to be a singer.She sang very well but she could never get work.

Jackie t back into the kitchen and began to make some sandwiches.Just then the back door opened,and her mother came in.

'It's very hot!'Molly said.She took off her hat and put it down on the table.She was a tall,dark woman with beautiful eyes.

Two big,black dogs came into the kitchen after her and ran across to her.She sat down and put her hands on their heads.

Jackie put the sandwiches on the table.'Mother,'she said,'Diane phoned.She wants money for her train ticket.'

Molly closed her eyes for a minute.Then she stood up.'This afternoon I want you to get the house ready for the weekend,'she said.'Oh,and please go to the village later and get my tablets.'

'Yes,Mother,'Jackie said.

Molly t to the door.

'Mother,please wait a minute,'Jackie said.'Peter Hobbs came here this morning.He's very angry with you about that letter.He lost his job,you know.Why did you write to his office?He wants to talk to you about it.'

'Well,I don't want to talk to him,'Molly said.She opened the door.

'But Mother,you don't understand.He's seventeen,and it was his first job.He's very,very angry.He says… he says he's going to kill you!'

Molly did not answer.She t out of the room and closed the door.

Chapter 2

It was seven o'clock on Saturday evening.Jackie stood at the window.A car drove slowly up to the front door and stopped.A tall man with white hair got out,It was Albert,the husband of Molly's sister.

'Here's Uncle Albert,'Jackie said.'Always late.'

She t out of the room and opened the front door.Albert came in and t at once to Molly.

'Oh,dear.I'm very late.I am sorry,'Albert said.'Fifty years old today!What a wonderful dress!'

Molly did not smile.'Thank you,Albert.We're all getting older.'Tonight she wore a long black dress,and the two black dogs sat at her feet.'Everyone is here now.Let's go in to dinner,'she said.

Everyone stood up and t to the table.

'The table looks nice,Jackie.What wonderful flowers!'Diane said.She was a beautiful girl,with long black hair and dark blue eyes.She wore a long red dress.

Albert sat down next to Roger Roger was Molly's son,her second child.He lived in Cambridge,in an expensive house.

'Someone called Peter stopped me down the road,'Albert said.'Who is he? He's very angry with you,Molly.'

'That's Peter Hobbs,from the house across the road,'Jackie said quickly.She looked across the table at Molly.'He lost his job last week and he's angry with everyone.'

'It's Molly he doesn't like,'Albert said.

Molly said nothing.Everyone began to eat.

'How is Aunt Annie?'Jackie asked.

'She's much worse now,'Albert said.'She stays in bed all the time.She needs a nurse tty-four hours a day.'

'I am sorry,'Molly said.

Albert stopped eating and looked at Molly.'It's very difficult and very expensive,you

know.Annie feels very unhappy because you don't visit her,Molly.She loves you very much.You are her little sister;you know.'

Molly closed her eyes for a minute.' I know that,Albert.I am fifty years old,but I am always her“little”sister.Well,we can talk about it later.'

Albert laughed.'Oh yes,we can talk later.It's always later with you,Molly.Always tomorrow.Never today.'

Jackie watched her mother.Her mother was angry with Albert.Molly never liked talking about her sister Annie and she did not like visiting her because she was very ill.

'That's a beautiful dress,Diane.Is it new?'Jackie asked.

'Thank you,Jackie.Yes,it's new,and very expensive.I got it on Wednesday,'Diane said.She smiled at Jackie.

'All your things are expensive,'Jackie said.She remembered the phone call on Thursday about the train ticket.

'I don't like cheap things,'Diane said.'And I'm going to need more money soon.I want to go to America.Can you help me,Roger?'

'Oh no,'Roger said.'Nobody wants to help you, Diane.You don't like working,we all know that,but we all want you to get a job.'

Diane laughed.'It doesn't matter,Roger.I don't need your help.Mother always helps me.Mother loves me best.'She suddenly smiled,a quick,beautiful smile.But her eyes were cold.

Jackie looked at her mother.Molly's face was white.Jackie did not understand.Was her mother afraid of Diane?Jackie wanted her mother to be happy today.

'Would you like some more meat,Uncle Albert?'Jackie asked.'Roger,can you give everyone some more to drink?

Roger got up and began to give more wine to everyone.'This is good wine,'he said.

Molly smiled for the first time.'Yes,your father loved this wine.He often drank it.'

'Yes,'Albert said,and looked at Molly.'Expensive,too.'

'Would you like to meet Mr Briggs this weekend,Roger?Jackie asked quickly.'He's the new man at the farm.He wants to meet you.'

know.Annie feels very unhappy because you don't visit her,Molly.She loves you very much.You are her little sister;you know.'

Molly closed her eyes for a minute.' I know that,Albert.I am fifty years old,but I am always her“little”sister.Well,we can talk about it later.'

Albert laughed.'Oh yes,we can talk later.It's always later with you,Molly.Always tomorrow.Never today.'

Jackie watched her mother.Her mother was angry with Albert.Molly never liked talking about her sister Annie and she did not like visiting her because she was very ill.

'That's a beautiful dress,Diane.Is it new?'Jackie asked.

'Thank you,Jackie.Yes,it's new,and very expensive.I got it on Wednesday,'Diane said.She smiled at Jackie.

'All your things are expensive,'Jackie said.She remembered the phone call on Thursday about the train ticket.

'I don't like cheap things,'Diane said.'And I'm going to need more money soon.I want to go to America.Can you help me,Roger?'

'Oh no,'Roger said.'Nobody wants to help you, Diane.You don't like working,we all know that,but we all want you to get a job.'

Diane laughed.'It doesn't matter,Roger.I don't need your help.Mother always helps me.Mother loves me best.'She suddenly smiled,a quick,beautiful smile.But her eyes were cold.

Jackie looked at her mother.Molly's face was white.Jackie did not understand.Was her mother afraid of Diane?Jackie wanted her mother to be happy today.

'Would you like some more meat,Uncle Albert?'Jackie asked.'Roger,can you give everyone some more to drink?

Roger got up and began to give more wine to everyone.'This is good wine,'he said.

Molly smiled for the first time.'Yes,your father loved this wine.He often drank it.'

'Yes,'Albert said,and looked at Molly.'Expensive,too.'

'Would you like to meet Mr Briggs this weekend,Roger?Jackie asked quickly.'He's the new man at the farm.He wants to meet you.'

'Briggs?Briggs?'Molly said,suddenly angry.'Don't talk to me about that man.I don't like him.He wants half my garden for his farm.He needs more land,he says.I don't want him in my house.He's always dirty and he has bad teeth.'

Jackie stood up and got her bag.'Excuse me,I want a cigarette.'

'Cigarettes!Always a cigarette in your mouth,'Molly said.'I don't like it.Cigarettes aren't good for you.'

Jackie began to smoke.She felt angry but she said nothing.She wanted her mother to be happy this evening,but it was very difficult.

Roger drank some more wine.'Well,Mother,perhaps Mr Briggs is right.The garden is very big,you know,'he said.'It's a lot of work for you.The house is big,too.You're fifty now.You need to be more careful.'

'Roger!I don't need a nurse,you know!I work in the garden every day;I feel happy there.'Molly stood up.'I know you all want my money.You e here for a free dinner,you don't want to see me.You don't love me.You want my house,and my money.Well,you can all wait.No-body is getting more money from me,not before I die!'

'Don't say that,Mother!'Jackie cried.

Molly walked across the room to the door.'I feel ill now.I'm going upstairs to bed.'

Molly left the room.Nobody moved.

'One day I'm going to kill that woman,'Diane said quietly.

Roger looked at Diane but said nothing.Albert moved his head slowly up and down.'Ill!She's angry,that's all,'he said.'Molly always gets angry about money.Why can't she be good to her sister?Annie's going to die soon.Molly knows that.'

Jackie finished her cigarette and stood up.'Would everyone like some coffee?Come into the kitchen and let's drink it there.'

Chapter 3

Early next morning the house was quiet.Suddenly there was a cry from the room next to Roger's,his mother's room.Roger opened his eyes and looked at the clock.It was nearly seven o'clock.He got out of bed and opened the door quietly.At the same time the door of his mother's room opened and Diane came out.Her face was very white.

'Roger!It's Mother!I brought a cup of coffee for her and I found her dead.She's dead…dead in her bed,'she cried.

Roger t quickly to the door of his mother's room and looked in.The window was open but the room was warm.Molly was on the bed,one hand under her head.Roger t across to the bed and put his hand on her arm.It was cold.On the little table next to the bed was a hot cup of coffee and an empty cup.

'I'm going to call the doctor,'Diane said.

'She's dead,'Roger said slowly.His face,too,was white.'Mother is dead!'

Diane walked across the room to the door.'I'm going to phone the doctor,'she said again.

'Wait a minute!'Roger called.'Let's tell the family first.'

'Family!Nobody loved Mother!'Diane t out and ran downstairs.

Roger slowly t downstairs after her and stood by the telephone.

'Dr Pratt,this is Diane Clarkson.It's my mother—she's dead.Can you e quickly?'

Diane put the phone down.'It isn't true,Roger!Mother dead!Daddy died last winter,and now Mother.'Diane began to cry.

'Don't cry,Diane,'Roger said.'Let's go upstairs and tell Uncle Albert and Jackie.'

'No!You tell them!Nobody loved Mother.You aren't sorry.Look at you!You want her money.That's all.'

Roger suddenly wanted to hit Diane.'Be quiet!'he said.'What about you?You didn't love Mother.You wanted her money,too.Don't forget that!'

'It's true,'Diane said.'Oh,I can't stay in this house.I'm going out.I'm going to the river with the dogs.'

'No,'Roger said.'The doctor's ing and I want you here.'

Diane said nothing.She t into the kitchen and at once the dogs got up and came to her.'Beautiful dogs!Daddy loved you and Mother loved you.Now I'm going to love you.'She opened the back door and t out with the dogs.

Roger did not move.He stood by the telephone.'It's true,'he thought.'I am happy about the money.I needed money,and now I'm rich.Things are going to be easier for me now.But Mother…why didn't I love her more? And now she's dead.'Slowly,Roger t back upstairs.He wanted to dress before Dr Pratt arrived.

Dr Pratt was a little fat man without much hair.He was the family doctor and he knew all the Clarkson family very well.He t upstairs at once and looked at Molly's body.He looked carefully at the cup of coffee and the empty cup on the table next to her bed.

'I'm sorry,Roger,'he said.'Where is Diane?She phoned me.'

'She t out with the dogs,'Roger said.'She was angry with me—angry with everyone.'

Dr Pratt said nothing for a minute.'This is going to be very difficult.I'm going to phone the police,Roger.'

'Police!Why?What's wrong?

'I don't know.Your mother wasn't ill.I saw her on Thursday and she was very well.Why did she die?I don't understand.I want to find out.'

Roger t across to the window and looked out at the gar-den.It was a beautiful summer morning.The sky was blue and the garden was green.It was all very quiet.His mother loved this garden.But Tom Briggs wanted the garden.And Roger wanted the garden,too.Roger felt worse and worse.

'Your mother took sleeping tablets,'Dr Pratt said.'Did you know?On Thursday she had a new bottle of tablets,but I can't find it here in her room.'

'I didn't know,'Roger said.'Very well.Let's go down-stairs and you can phone the police.'

Roger t into the kitchen and made some coffee.Just then Diane came in with the dogs.

'Roger,'she said.'Look,I'm sorry.I was angry and said some angry things.'

'It doesn't matter,'Roger said.'Here you are,have some coffee.Dr Pratt is phoning the police.Did you know Mother took sleeping tablets?Well,the bottle is not in her room.'

'What?I don't understand.'Diane took the coffee and be-gan to drink.Her eyes looked big and dark.

Just then Dr Pratt came into the kitchen.'They're ing at once,'he said.'Diane—I'm sorry about your mother.'

'Dr Pratt,I want to tell you about last night.Everyone was very angry…'

'Be quiet!'Roger said quickly.

'Diane never thinks before she opens her mouth,'he thought angrily.

Diane did not look at Roger.'Last night Mother t to bed early because everyone…'

'Don't tell me,'Dr Pratt said.'You can tell the police.'

Roger's face t red.Suddenly he felt afraid.'The police are going to talk to everyone,and ask questions,'he thought.'And they're going to want answers.It's going to be very difficult.'He finished his coffee and stood up.

'I'm going upstairs,'he said.'I'm going to tell Uncle Al-bert and Jackie about Mother…and about the police.'

Chapter 4

The police arrived very quickly.There were a lot of them.Some of them with cameras t upstairs to Molly's room.Two detectives talked to Dr Pratt in the kitchen.The family waited in the sitting room.It was a hot day again and the windows were open.The dogs sat quietly at Diane's feet.Nobody talked.Jackie smoked.They waited for a long time.Suddenly the door opened and the two detectives came in.

'Good morning.I am Detective Inspector Walsh and this is Sergeant Foster.'The Inspector did not smile.He was a big man in an old black suit and a black hat and coat.

He wore a coat because he always felt cold.'Last night someone put sleeping tablets in Mrs Clarkson's hot milk.We are going to question everybody,and we need a room,please.'

Roger stood up.'I'm Roger Clarkson.You can have my father's old office.Come with me,it's along here,'

The office was not a very big room,but there was a table and three or four chairs.Roger opened the window.

'I would like to talk first to your uncle,Albert King,'In-spector Walsh said.He took off his hat and coat and sat down behind the table.

'Of course,'said Roger and left the room.

Sergeant Foster waited by the door.He was a very tall young man with black hair and a nice smile.He was not very happy this morning because he usually played tennis on Sunday mornings.He was one of the best players at the Cambridge Tennis Club.

Albert came in and sat down.

'I'm going to ask some questions,Mr King,'the Inspector said,'and Sergeant Foster is going to write it all down.'

Albert looked at his feet.'Yes,yes.It's your job.I know that.'

'Tell me about last night,'Inspector Walsh asked quietly.'You were angry with Mrs Clarkson.'

Albert looked at Inspector Walsh for the first time.'Yes,I was.Everyone was angry.Roger was angry.Diane wanted money to go to America.Then there's a man called Tom Brig-gs…He wants half the garden for his farm.Molly was a rich woman.I need money because my wife Annie—Molly's sister—is very ill.I told Molly this.'

'What happened next?'

'Well,Molly was angry with everyone and t upstairs.We t into the kitchen for coffee.Jackie wanted everyone to go up and say good night to Molly.She lives here with Molly so she wanted Molly to be happy.At first Roger said no.He was angry and didn't want to see his mother.'

'And did you see Molly in her room?'

'Yes.I was tired and I t upstairs first.I t to Molly's room and asked her for money again.But no—there was no money for her sister.'Albert stopped and put his hand over his eyes.

Inspector Walsh watched Albert for a minute.'Did you hear noises after you t to bed?'

'Everyone t into Molly's room to say good night,I think.Later,I heard someone…He—or she—t down-stairs.That was about midnight.'

'Very well,Mr King.Thank you,you can go now.'Albert left the room.

Inspector Walsh put his hands behind his head.'What time is it?I'm hungry.We're learning a lot,but I need some coffee.'

'Shall I go to the kitchen?'Sergeant Foster asked.

'Oh,no.Later.Let's see Jackie Clarkson next.'

Jackie came in and sat down.She looked down at her hands and said nothing.

'We found the empty bottle of your mother's sleeping tablets in Diane's room,'the Inspector said suddenly.Then he waited.Jackie's face did not change and she said nothing.

'Tell me,did your mother get her tablets from the shop in the village?'

'Yes.My mother usually took a sleeping tablet every night so she needed a lot of tablets.Sometimes she got them from the shop,sometimes I did.On Thursday,I asked Peter Hobbs to get them.He lives in the house across the road,and he of-ten goes to the village on his bicycle.'

'I see.Your mother wanted to stay in this house.How about you?Did you want to move?'

Jackie looked up for a minute and then down at her hands a-gain.'This is Mother's

house.I loved my mother.She was good to me.'

'Did you see your mother in her room last night?'

'Yes,everyone did.Diane made hot milk and took it to Mother.She usually drank a cup of hot milk before she slept.'

Inspector Walsh put his hands behind his head.Jackie was very quiet.'What did your mother say?'

Jackie opened her bag and looked for a cigarette.'Can I smoke?'

'Of course.This is your house,'Inspector Walsh said.He watched Jackie.'What did your mother say?'he asked again.

'She wanted to go downstairs again.She remembered the dogs—she wanted to get some dinner for them. I t to my room and she t downstairs.'

'What time was this?'

'I don't remember.About midnight,I think.'

'And the cup of hot milk?'

'It was on the table by her bed.'

'Did you need your mother's money?'

'No,Inspector.Money is not important to me.There are more important things,'Jackie said quietly.

'Well,your uncle Albert wanted money.Tom Briggs wanted the garden.You wanted nothing?'

Jackie finished her cigarette and looked up at the Inspector.Her eyes were suddenly angry.'Don't forget Peter Hobbs.He lost his job because of my mother.He wanted to kill her,you know.And what about Diane?You found the empty bottle in her bag.'

Inspector Walsh listened carefully.'We're going to question everyone,Miss Clarkson.'

Jackie said nothing for a minute.'Would you like some sandwiches and coffee,Inspector?'

'Ah!Yes,please!'Inspector Walsh said warmly.'I would like sandwiches and coffee very

much.'

Jackie left the room.Inspector Walsh thought about her.Why was she suddenly angry?The room was quiet.

Chapter 5

After the coffee and sandwiches,Inspector Walsh called Roger Clarkson to the office.Roger came in and sat down.The Inspector began at once.

'Now,Mr Clarkson.Why was your mother angry with you last night?'

'This house is very big,'Roger said.'It was a lot of work for Mother.I wanted her to move.But no,she loved this house and garden.She didn't want to move.'

'Tell me about your job,Mr Clarkson.Your mother is dead and now you're rich.Do you need money?'

Roger's face was suddenly afraid.'What are you saying?I didn't kill my mother.I need money,that's true.A friend and I want to build ten houses here,in this garden.We can get a lot of money for them.So.I wanted Mother to sell this house.It's true.But Mr Briggs wanted half the garden,too,you know,for his farm.'

Inspector Walsh moved a pencil on the table.'Tell me,what happened upstairs?You t to your mother's room?'

'Yes,I did.I wanted to say goodnight to my mother.'

'Did you talk about the house again?'

'Yes,I did.Again,she said no.She loved the house and didn't want to sell it.'

Inspector Walsh watched Roger for a minute.'I see.We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets,Mr Clarkson,in Diane's room.'

Roger's face did not change.'Oh?Someone put them there.Diane did not kill my mother,I know that.She found the body.'

'Very well.I would like to see Diane next.'

Roger got up and left the room.

Inspector Walsh stood up and put his hands in his pockets.He t to the window and looked out at the trees.Why was Roger Clarkson afraid?Was it important?He looked at Sergeant Foster.

'Tomorrow morning,go to Mr Clarkson's office-you have the name,'he said.'Ask some questions about him,about his job,friends,money.'

Sergeant Foster wrote it down.'Yes,Inspector.'

'A good day for tennis,Sergeant?'

Sergeant Foster laughed.'Don't say that.It's not easy,you know.I don't like sitting here looking at the sun.'

Diane came into the room and sat down.She looked at Sergeant Foster and smiled.'I saw you at the Tennis Club last month,I think.You play very well.'

Sergeant Foster's face t red.Inspector Walsh looked at him.'Oh yes.A fast and exciting player is Sergeant Foster.'

Diane smiled again at Sergeant Foster and his face t redder.

'Well,Miss Clarkson,'Inspector Walsh said,'I want you to talk about last night.'

Diane stopped smiling.'Oh,I can talk about last night.I can't stop talking about it.We were all angry.Mother t to bed early and I made hot milk for her.We were all in the kitchen,and Peter Hobbs came in He nearly broke the back door down.'Diane stopped.

'Yes?'

'He was very angry about a letter.He wanted to kill Mother.Are you going to talk to him?'

'We're going to talk to everyone.'

'Good.Tom Briggs came into the kitchen,too.Are you going to talk to him?'

'I'm asking the questions,Miss Clarkson.When did you take the milk upstairs?'

'I t up after Roger.'She stopped for a minute.Then she began again.'I didn't like my mother,Inspector.She killed my father,you know.Last winter,after Christmas,she drove the car into a tree and killed my father.'

Inspector Walsh watched Diane's face carefully.'I see.So you wanted to kill your mother?'

Diane laughed.'I wanted to kill her,but I didn't.I can tell you a lot of things about this family,Inspector.Everyone wanted Mother to die.Uncle Albert wanted her money for his wife,Annie.And then my brother.He needs a lot of money.He has an expensive house and an expensive car.And think of Jackie.Do you know that Jackie didn't like Mother?A long time age,a nice boy worked here.He was the gardener.Jackie loved him very much,but Mother said no.A

gardener was not a good husband for a Clarkson girl!'

Inspector Walsh listened quietly.All this was very interesting but was it important?Perhaps.What a happy family the Clarksons were!

'We found the empty bottle of sleeping tablets in your room,'Inspector Walsh said quietly. He watched her face carefully.

Diane stood up suddenly,her face angry.'What?I didn't put it there!I'm not going to listen to this!'She ran out of the room.

'Well,well,well,'Inspector Walsh said.'She likes you,Sergeant.You need to be careful.'

Sergeant Foster laughed but his face t red again.

'Someone put sleeping tablets in Molly's hot milk,'the In-spector said.'All the family were in the kitchen last night.Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs were there,too.One of them killed Molly.'

Inspector Walsh got his hat and coat.'Come on.We need to talk to Peter Hobbs and Tom Briggs.Let's get some more coffee first.I'd like a sandwich,too.I'm hungry again!'

Chapter 6

They found Peter Hobbs under his car—an old green car.He got up slowly.He wore old blue trousers and a dirty orange shirt.

'We want to talk about Mrs Clarkson,'Inspector Walsh said.

'Oh,it's about her,'Peter said.He looked at the Inspec-tor.'I know she's dead.Someone in the village told me.'

'Why did you go to the Clarkson's house last night?'

'Jackie wanted me to e and see her brother,Roger.

“You're angry,”she said.“Come and tell Roger.”I t to the house but nobody opened the door.So I made a lot of noise and then they opened the door.Old Mrs Clarkson wasn't there.But I told Roger.I told them all!'Peter hit the car with his hand.'I wanted to kill that woman.I lost my job,my first job,because of her.Last month I was in trouble with the police and that old woman wrote to my office and she told them about the police.I wanted to kill her!'

'Take it easy!'Inspector Walsh said.'What happened next?'

'Jackie gave me some coffee,but her brother didn't listen to me,'Peter said angrily.'Then Tom Briggs came in.He wanted to talk to Roger,too.But Roger didn't listen to him.Jackie was very unhappy—she nearly cried.Then I t home.That's all.'

'I see.Now tell me about the tablets.You t to the village on Thursday?'

'Tablets?Oh,yes.I remember.Jackie wanted me to get her mother's tablets from the village.I go to the village on my bicycle—this car doesn't work.'

'Thank you,Peter.That's all.'

'That's all?'Peter laughed angrily.'You're going to e back,I know that!I know the police!'

Tom Briggs'farm was about half a mile away,near the river.It was not a big farm,and the house was old and dirty.

'Not much money here,'Inspector Walsh said.

Tom Briggs was a young man,about thirty years old,with dirty hands and bad teeth.'What's wrong?Excuse me,I'm eating my dinner,'he said.

'We can wait.Finish your dinner,'Inspector Walsh said.'We want to ask one or two questions about last night.'

'Come and wait in the front room,'Tom said and opened the door.

Inspector Walsh looked at the things in the front room.There was an old black and white television,and some books on the table.There was a picture of a happy young girl with long brown hair on the table,too.Inspector Walsh looked at the picture for a long time.Who was the girl?

Tom Briggs came back into the front room.

'Finished?'Inspector Walsh asked.'You know Mrs Clark-son is dead?'

Tom Briggs sat down suddenly on the nearest chair.'What?How did she die?When did it happen?I was there last night.'

'She died last night or early this morning.What did you do last night?'

'Me?Why are you asking me?I t there to meet Mr Clarkson Roger.I'm losing money on this farm and I need more land.I want half Mrs Clarkson's garden.'

'You t into the kitchen.What did you do next?Can you remember?'

Tom Briggs looked at Sergeant Foster and then back at Inspector Walsh.'I remember it very well.All the family were in the kitchen.Peter Hobbs was there,too.I talked to Roger.He wants his mother to sell the house.But he wants the land.He doesn't want me to have it.But now Mrs Clark-son is dead.What's going to happen now?'

Inspector Walsh got up and took the picture of the girl from the table.'Who's this?'

Tom's face t red.'Who?Oh!That's a friend.It's not…It was a long time ago.'

The two detectives walked back to the Clarksons' house through the garden.It was beautiful,green and quiet.Inspector Walsh felt tired and hungry.Who killed Molly?He knew the answer now,but he needed to ask one or two more questions.

'Let's go,Sergeant,'he said,and put on his hat again.'Tomorrow is a new day.'

Chapter 7

On Monday morning Sergeant Foster t to Roger's office and asked some questions.And then he t to Albert's house and asked some more questions.Inspector Walsh sat in his office and telephoned.He made phone calls about Peter Hobbs and he made phone calls about Tom Briggs.And then he had some coffee and sandwiches.

At three o'clock the two detectives drove to the Clarksons' house.

'I would like to see everyone,'he told Roger.

Everyone came into the sitting room and sat down.

Inspector Walsh stood in front of the windows and looked at them,one by one.'I want to talk to you Someone killed Molly Clarkson.Someone put sleeping tablets in her hot milk and killed her Nobody wanted to tell me the true story,but now I know the true story and I'm going to tell you.'

The two dogs came slowly into the room and sat down at Diane's feet.It was very quiet in the room.

The Inspector looked at Albert.'Mr King,your wife is very ill and needs a nurse.You told me this.You didn't tell me about your house.You're selling your house next month because you need the money.'

Albert was angry.'Last year I asked Molly's husband for some money,and he said yes.But then he died in an accident.'

'Accident!'Diane cried.'That was no accident.Mother killed Daddy because she wanted his money!

'Let's talk about you now,Diane,'said Inspector Walsh.You visited your mother every month and you took money from her.Last month she gave you money for your television.This month she gave you money for your telephone.Every month you told your mother:“It was no accident;you killed Daddy.I'm going to tell the police.”Your mother was afraid of the police and so she gave you the money.But in the end she wanted to stop you.She told Dr Pratt.No more money,she told Dr Pratt on Thursday;and on Saturday she died.You took the hot milk to your mother-what did she tell you?'

Diane began to cry.'I loved Daddy!He always gave money to me;he loved me.It was Mother-she didn't love Daddy and she didn't love me.Diane stopped.The dogs got up and t to the door.'It's true,I took a lot of money from Mother.On Saturday she told me—no more money.I wanted to kill her,but I didn't.'

The dogs came back and sat down again at Diane's feet.Inspector Walsh looked at Roger.'Mr Clarkson also needed money.'

Roger's face t red.'Don't tell them!Please!'

'Mr Clarkson lost his job last month.He has no money.But he has an expensive house and an expensive car.He likes expensive things.'

His sisters looked at him,but Roger put his hand over his eyes.'Don't talk to me!'

'It doesn't matter now!'Diane said.'Mother is dead and we have a lot of money.You don't need a job.'

Roger's face t red again.'Be quiet,Diane!'

'Now,Inspector Walsh began again.'Peter Hobbs is a very angry young man.Mrs Clarkson was not very nice to him.He got the sleeping tablets from the shop.But did he put the tablets in the hot milk?I think not.Tom Briggs wanted half the garden for his farm.He was in the kitchen that night.Did he put sleeping tablets in the hot milk?I think not.'

Suddenly it began to rain.For a minute everyone watched it through the window.Jackie took a cigarette from her bag and began to smoke.

'But someone wanted Peter Hobbs to e into the kitchen that night.She wanted everyone to see him,and listen to him,'Inspector Walsh said.

'She…?I don't understand,'Roger began,and stopped.

Inspector walsh moved away from the window and sat down.'I'm going to tell you the true story now.Miss Clark-son,you wanted Peter Hobbs to e to the house that night.He was very angry with your mother because of that letter.He said:“I want to kill her.”And you wanted everyone to hear that. Why?'

Jackie's face t white.It's not true!What about Diane?You found the empty bottle in her bag!'

Diane stood up.'In my bag?Jackie!What are you talking about?'

'Be quiet,please,and sit down,'Inspector Walsh said.He looked at Jackie.'It's true:we found the bottle in Diane's bag.But how do you know that?We didn't tell you.'

'You did…before…you told me before!'

'No.We found the empty bottle in Diane's room.We told you that.You talked about Diane's

bag;we didn't tell you.Sergeant foster wrote it all down.'Inspector Walsh looked carefully at Jackie.'A long time ago,you knew Tom Briggs.He was the gardener here and you loved him.But your mother didn't like him.'

Jackie put her hands to her head.'No!No!'

'We found your picture-an old one-in Mr Briggs'house.You were younger then,and your hair was long.Last year Tom Briggs came back,and you wanted him.He loved you,too,but he had no money.He wanted the garden for his farm,he wanted money,he wanted you.But your mother said no.In the end,you wanted to kill your mother…and you did kill her.Your mother t downstairs to see the dogs and you put the sleeping tablets in her hot milk.Later,you put the empty bottle in Diane's bag.

Jackie stood up.Her eyes were dark and afraid.'You don't understand!she cried.'Mother gave me nothing…all those years.I wanted to be happy…to be with Tom.That's all.I love Tom,and he loves me.But Mother said no.Always no.'Then she began to cry.Nobody looked at her.

Jackie left the house in a police car.Inspector Walsh watched and then walked slowly to his car.He felt tired and hungry.He stopped and looked back at the house.

'Well,'he said to Sergeant Foster,'in the end,they go the money:Albert,Roger,Diane.They're all rich now.But are they going to be happy?'

He got into the car.'Let's go,'he said.'I'm hungry;need a sandwich.'

作文二:《作文:动漫。.我的爱啊…》600字

动漫呐……爱啊……

——————题记

小 荷 作文网

最初的动漫记忆,是那《数码宝贝》、《多拉A梦》等,现在的动漫记忆是《家庭教师》、《火影忍者》、《海贼王》、《薄樱鬼》之类的……

我不打算把那份美好破坏,因为我爱……

我会为了云雀恭弥的出场和战门而激动不已,我会为了总司的疾病而忧伤,我会为了卡卡西的那份幽默而开心,会为了……总而言之,我已经在无形中把自己的精神寄托在这里了……

也许吧,在那些大人的眼中,我们看的动漫被叫做:“幼稚”。可是我不认为,动漫给了我好多的启示,也改变了我很多…reborn说:“没有一个人嘲笑已经努力过的人。”路飞说过:“我会成为海贼王!我会以one piece为目标!我决定了要成为海贼王便要为此而战,就算死也不要紧。”看,那个少年会为了梦想而奋斗的宣言,我的呢?坂田银时说过:“关于自己的生活,我和你都不是读者,而是作者。至少结局,还是能自己说了算的。”那,就这样主宰自己的人生吧…

看动漫前,我并不知道:人一旦有的要保护的东西就会变强,我从炎真为了保护自己的同伴而觉醒知道了;我以前也不知道:人一旦赌上了什么,就会想着保护什么,而且会坚持地保护下去,我从云雀和肃清一战中里了解了;以前我也不明白什么是羁绊,我从大雄和多拉A梦看出来了,也从长门、小南、弥彦他们的身上看出来了……

或多或少,那就是情感,那就是觉悟……吧……

作文三:《作文:我爱动漫》1000字

动漫迷是世界上最可怜的爱好者。

喜欢网络游戏的,人们说他们叛逆;喜欢言情小说的,人们说她们温婉;喜欢歌星影星的,人们说他们个性;喜欢足球篮球的,人们说他们狂热……可假如你不幸喜欢上了动漫,得,肤浅、幼稚、崇洋媚外……什么词不好来什么。只不过是万千爱好之一,既不妨碍祖国统一,又不影响社会安定,却偏偏得到了最多的骂声。作为一名动漫迷,我不禁要站出来说点什么与动漫有关的想法。

首先要消除“崇洋媚外”的世俗偏见。因为当前动漫事业最发达的是日本,这使得许多爱国分子坚决抵制日货。日本的动漫是日本经济第三大支柱。他们成熟的商业运作,轻小说、漫画、动画、剧场版、OVA、周边一体化的发展套路,值得我们学习。在日本,各种类型的动漫:侦探类、科幻类、少年类、少女类、校园类、运动类……无所不有。我们虚心学习别国的长处,有什么不好?谁规定中国的球迷一定要支持中国队,这不明摆着欠抽吗?谁规定中国的影迷一定要支持国产电影,好莱坞的电影就不能看吗?那么,又是谁规定中国的动漫迷不能看日本的漫画呢?我们说:“动漫无国界,与政治无关,我们看动漫,并不意味着我们哈日、亲日。”可是知音少,弦断有谁听?

其次,我们要彻底改变动漫是给小孩看的这种观念。所有童心未泯的人,所有心怀梦想的人,所有喜爱微笑的人,都是动漫迷。青山刚昌笔下足智多谋的名侦探柯南,井上雄彦笔下热血拼搏的湘北篮球队员,岸本齐史笔下追逐梦想的木叶村忍者们……他们是多少人心目中的支柱?渚的父母为了照顾女儿,舍弃了触手可及的梦想;鸣人在一次次激战面前毫不畏惧,冲着天空高喊:“我要成为火影”;柯南为了保护市民的安全,不惜使自己身受重伤;鲁路修为了使世界踏上正轨,以自己的牺牲唱响了序曲;三代火影为了保护村子里的每一个人,拼了性命与大蛇丸血战;琴美的父母在飞机坠机前的那一刻,丢弃了重要的科学论文,却把给女儿买的玩具熊放进了旅行箱,还附上了一张纸条“如果你捡到这个箱子,请把它交给我的女儿”,最终跨越了千山万水,经过无数人的传递,通过十几种语言的交流,来到了琴美的身边……他们的坚持,他们的勇敢。他们的奉献,他们的真情,怎么能说幼稚、肤浅呢?看看电视上那些所谓的青春偶像剧,爱来爱去的,有什么营养?不如重拾动漫,重拾那份久违了的感动。

最后,我们要立下雄心壮志,画出不输日本的漫画。这不是个梦想,只是还未成真的现实。我们坚信,当我们开始爱上动漫的时候,就是中国动漫真正腾飞的时候。

作文四:《作文:我心爱的储钱罐》600字

我心爱的储钱罐

四年级  刘彤彦

每个人都有自己喜欢的东西,当然我也不例外,有帅酷的遥控小汽车,威武的变形小金刚,还有精美的小鱼书签,但我最喜欢的还是去年过生日时爸爸送给我的生日礼物——一个漂亮的小鼠储钱罐。

它摆放在我的卧室的书柜,小巧玲珑,两只粉红色的耳朵竖在脑袋两旁,像两把粉红色的扇子一双黝黑的小眼睛水汪汪的,像两颗黑色的珍珠,粉红色的鼻子长在脑袋的正中方,看起来躁动不安,似乎在不停地嗅着周围的气味。

小鼠的外貌更加滑稽可笑,它穿着一个粉红色的围裙,上面写着一个大大的“M”,像麦当劳腰缠万贯的老板,它的左边是一个笔筒,上面画着跳跳虎和小猪,他们紧紧相拥抱在一起,看起来他们似乎像久别重逢的老朋友,在一起嬉戏玩耍。笔筒是长方形的,很宽,里面装有美丽精致的中性笔,十分好看。

它陪伴我度过三百六十五个日日夜夜,简直是我的心肝宝贝,虽然它有点褪皮,但我依旧对它爱不释手,有一次我发现我的存钱罐不见了,在家里翻箱倒柜,把家里搞了个乱七八糟,终于在床底下发现了它,压在心底的一块石头终于落了地,它使我的生活变的丰富多彩,让我每天过的开开心心。

小老鼠还让我养成了勤俭节约的好习惯,每当我想花钱买没用的东西时,他就哭丧着脸,好像在说:“小主人,你可不能胡乱花哟。”每当我沮丧不已时,它笑眯眯的,摆出一副滑稽可笑的样子,好像在说:“小主人,开心点儿,不要闷闷不乐。”

它是我的良师益友,它陪伴了我多少个日日夜夜,我离不开它。

我心爱的储钱罐

四年级 柴敏舒

我有一个好伙伴,它几乎可以每天告诉我不要乱花钱,而要养成存钱的好习惯——它就是我的储钱罐。

记得那一年,我和爸爸去平遥古城玩,顺手买下那个可爱的小女孩储钱罐。

它长着一头乌黑的长发,可爱的像小樱桃似的嘴巴咧的老高,身上穿着一身军绿色的军装,严肃地站在那里,头上还戴着一个浅绿色的帽子。打扮这么漂亮,要到哪里去呀?原来,它要去我的房间里。

每天早上起来,我都要看看那个小女孩在干什么,而且每天给它扎一个马尾辫,或者给它头上扎一个蝴蝶结,或者……有一天早上,我起床准备给它扎辫子时,突然发觉,它找不见了,我在我的房间里,找了好久,都没找到那位可爱的小女孩。于是,我问爸爸:“爸爸,那个储钱罐在哪儿?我找不见了。”爸爸不紧不慢地说:“我看见你弟弟把它放在客厅里了。”唉,吓死我了,如果丢了,我会伤心的。我赶紧跑进客厅,把它抱起来,抚摸着它的头发,轻轻对它说:“小宝贝,没事的。”我又把它重新放回我的房间,跑过去对弟弟说:“谁让你乱动我的东西。”弟弟低下了头,看到弟弟可怜兮兮的样子,我忍不住对弟弟说:“弟弟,你以后别在乱动姐姐的东西,好吗?”弟弟点了点头。我现在深深地爱上了这个小女孩,因为,每当我把钱放进储钱罐里,这位小女孩便会给我鼓励,对我说:“继续加油!小主人。”每当我考试不好时,它又对我说:“别灰心,小主人,我相信你是最棒的!”每当我乱花零钱时,生气地说:“小主人,如果你再乱花钱,我就不理你了。”我心想:不行,不行,我不能乱花钱,如果乱花钱,我就失去这位可爱的小女孩了。

啊!小女孩,我永远喜欢你,因为你让我养成了好习惯,同时,你鼓励了我,让我别灰心。

作文六:《金钱的作文》4400字

1、君子爱财,取之有道。--孔子

2、如果你把金钱当成上帝,它便会像魔鬼一样折磨你。--菲尔丁

3、钱能买到贺卡,但却买不到友谊;钱能买到玩具,但却买不到快乐;钱能买到蜡烛,但却买不到光明;钱能买到物品,但却买不到幸福;钱能买到科学家的发明,但却买不到科学家的智慧;钱能买到鲜花,但却买不到春天,钱能买到书本,但却买不到知识;钱能买到地球仪,但却买不到整个世界。

比金钱更重要的

“小姑娘,钱收好。”“哎!”我接过钱一数,呆住了„„

这是一个飘着雨丝的星期天,妈妈临时知道中午家里来客人,要买许多菜,可都十点了。妈妈便拉上我直奔菜场。一来到菜场,我俩就分好工:妈妈挑菜、付钱,我找钱。

先去买海鲜!我们来到一个卖螃蟹的摊位前,我仔细打量了这位摊主,他是一位四五十岁的中年男子,被雨水打湿的黑发中夹着几根白丝,黝黑的脸上嵌着许多皱纹,身穿一件脱了毛的长袖毛衣和一条洗得发白的棉裤。我又瞧着盆里的螃蟹,一只只挥舞着它们的大钳子,长得十分壮!我心中想着:红烧螃蟹可是我的最爱呀!这几头烧起来肯定比平时好吃多了!

“老板,这螃蟹怎么卖?”妈妈问道。“三十块钱一斤。”“好,那给我来三只。”摊主已经伸出他那长满茧子、皱巴巴的手准备抓螃蟹了,一听见妈妈说要,急忙抓了三只最壮的装进袋子,往秤上一称,“一斤多,三十二块。”“这么贵啊!”我嘀咕了一句。摊主把袋子递给了我,我接过袋子。妈妈给了那位摊主五十元,对我说:“小惠,把钱找回来。”说完,妈妈就转身向另一个摊子走去。

摊主从柜子中拿出一叠零钱,数了一下,递给我:“拿好!”我伸手拿来钱一数,我愣住了:怎么有六十八元,多了五十?我刚想对摊主说他多找了,可转念一想:这下可赚了!不仅没花自己的钱,还多了那么多的钱,占大便宜了!我偷偷地乐着,突然听到妈妈在叫我,便跑了过去,小声对妈妈说:“妈妈,那个摊主多找了我们六十八块钱!”“怎么回事?”“他肯定把你给他的五十元当作一百元了,嘿嘿!”我乐得眼睛都眯缝了,妈妈却显得有些严肃。“快把这多找的钱还给那个人!”妈妈的语气加重了,她紧皱眉头,铜铃般的眼睛瞪着我。“我不!”我把钱紧紧攥在手里。雨丝飘在我脸上,湿漉漉的。

妈妈叹了口气,从包里取出五十元,转身走到那个摊边。我远远地看着,只见妈妈把那钱递到摊主面前。摊主先是一脸疑惑。后来,妈妈不知说了些什么,摊主连连点头,嘴里嘟哝着,伸出手颤悠悠地接过钱,他那黝黑的脸上露出了一丝感激的微笑„„

……

走出菜场,我一直没跟妈妈说话。

“小惠,还在跟我赌气呢?”

我撅起嘴看着妈妈。妈妈语重心长地对我说:“小惠,钱虽然重要,但世上还有比金钱更重要的东西!我前天还听见你在背一句格言,‘以诚感人者,人亦诚而应’,你难道忘了吗?”

“我„„”我一惊。

“做一个诚实的人,才能得到别人的信任!不能只说不做!”

“嗯!”我惭愧地低下了头,脸上火辣辣的。“好险!我刚才差点失去比金钱更重要的东西!”

我长舒了一口气,抬起头,发现不知什么时候天已经放晴了。阳光普照,身上暖洋洋的„„

在现实生活中,有很多东西比金钱更重要,如高尚的人格、真挚的友谊、父母的亲情等,都是金钱“遥不可及”的。即使你家财万贯,没有亲人和朋友与你分享,那么,再多的钱又如何?独自享用山珍海味,又有何味?

谈金钱

现实社会,充满了各种各样的物质诱惑。我们如果想得到物品,或者享受社会提供的服务,追求美好的生活,就不能不需要金钱。

有人会认为,金钱是什么?不就是能让我们住进三房两厅的商品楼房,吃到美味无比的珍品佳肴,穿到花花绿绿的衣衫裤袜,坐上名牌的小轿车吗?

显然,这样理解金钱就片面了!我认为:金钱不应当是生命的目的,它只是生活的工具。我们所追求的金钱,应该是知识,是智慧,是高尚的品德!

冯梦龙说:“钱财如粪土,仁义价千金!”钱钟书是我国当代著名作家,他爱书如命,淡泊名利。有一次,美国普林斯顿大学开价16万美元,邀请他去讲学半年,食宿全包,可携夫人前往。如此优厚待遇,几乎令人咋舌,可他却不为所动。他所创作的作品,不要稿酬,只要一大摞书。他并不稀罕金钱,他曾经幽默地说:“我都姓了一辈子钱,难道还迷信钱吗?”

契诃夫说:“人生的快乐和幸福不在金钱、不在爱情,而在真理。”26岁的爱因斯坦创造了举世震惊的“狭义相对论”后,金钱、名利如潮水般涌来,但是,他对这一切都很淡泊。他说:“人们努力追求庸俗的目标——财产,虚荣和奢华,从青年时,我就觉得是可鄙的。”他曾经把一张价值1500美元的支票当书签用,有人很惊讶,他却平静地说:“重要的不是这个,而是科学。”

“金子是黄的,但可以使人心变黑。”视金钱为身外物,贫贱不移,富贵不淫,甘贫贱以守其志,居高位不改本色,浩然之气,不为任何力量所摧毁。这对于我们来说好像很难,其实关键在于你是否有这样的一颗心。我们不需过分地追求金钱,正所谓“知足常乐!”要知道“没有思想上的清白,也就不能够有金钱的廉洁。”

然而,有的人把金钱与幸福等同起来,认为金钱是万能的,拥有金钱就是拥有幸福,有钱就有一切,因而,为了金钱,不惜“赴汤蹈火”,结果往往是碰得头破血流,身败名裂。

战国中期,有个诸侯国蜀国,相当富强,但是蜀侯却非常昏庸且贪财。秦惠王知道后,为了吞并蜀国,就铸了一只“金牛”派人送给蜀侯,扬言这只“金牛”

能日产千金,但是它太庞大,加上蜀国边境险峻,所以运不来。蜀侯信以为真,马上铲高山,填深谷,迎“金牛”。岂料,大批秦国军队紧跟其后,不消半天,蜀国被灭。若不是蜀侯贪小利,又怎么会落得如此下场?我们也要从中吸取教训:切勿因小失大!

我认为:万贯家财是物质上的富有,知识智慧是精神上的富有,很多人花一辈子的时间去追求金钱,却很少追求精神上的富有,我们要摒弃这种不良风气,学会正确地对待金钱!

我是钱

我是一张百元大钞。我不记得我是从哪里出来的,但我有很多兄弟姐妹,五十元、二十元、一元几角几分的都是。主人总是把我们放在一起,但每次都把我放在最下面。我上面的50元,虽然他们的面值只是我的一半,但却已是饱经风霜,浑身上下都脏脏的,我努力想离他们远点儿——我是新钱。

不久,我听见一个50元说话了:“唉,老兄,你听说了吗?现在很多人造假,假币到处都是,而且大部分是一百元的——说不定咱们这里就有!”“是吗?”一个20元接道:“我听主人说,假币都是些新钱!”我听了吓了一跳,我不会是假币吧?

几天后,我到了一家小卖店,接触的人多了,常听到人们说这样一句话:“钱不是万能的,但没有钱是万万不能的!”我很高兴人类给我们这么高的评价,当然了,前提是我不是假币。

后来,这家店主买了一台怪模怪样的机器,我不知道它是干什么用的,就问上面的50元。他不悄地撇撇嘴说:“哼,看你面值挺大的,连这玩艺都不知道啊,是验钞机,能验出咱们是真币还是假币。”我听了心里不免有些紧张。果不其然,当晚主人就开始验钞,我的心都提到嗓子眼了。“吱——”,当我和其它钱币经过验钞机时,机器尖叫了起来,我心一紧,难道、、、、、、我不敢想下去了。店主又把我们分成了几摞,最后单独对我进行检验时,又“吱”地响了——我是假币!

当我慢慢从被主人从验钞机里抽出来时,发觉所有的钱币都眼盯着我,一个1元钱喊出来:“哟,看不出来啊,他还是个私生子!”我登时羞愧满面,心想这回主人该把我扔了吧。可主人满不在乎地把我塞进抽屉,并且第二天就把我交给了一位出租车司机,司机又把我转给衔边的烟亭主,就这样,我总是很快被花掉,最后几经展转我来到了一位工人家里,但不久我就被发现是假币。只听他哀叹一声:“天啊,这是那个丧心病狂的啊、、、、、、”我难受极了,觉得他似乎是在骂我。于是,当晚我便混入了一堆废纸,被扔进碎纸机。在碎纸机启动前,我反复叮嘱我自己:下辈子一定要做个真正的百元大钞!

真爱,决不与金钱同行

一个下午,在某大学校园的门口,几个学生正在为革命老区失学儿童募捐。许久都无人问津。这时,一个捡垃圾的老人走了过来,看了一看后,从破烂不堪的衣兜里掏出一圆皱巴巴的纸币,颤微微地递上去,然后象完成了什么使命似的,默默地离开了。

读完这个故事,一种不可名状的敬意从心底油然升起,那些以感动为话题的内容忽然有了答案——在我们只知道用华丽的文字描述爱的时候,在我们纵声高呼“真爱在哪里”的时候,又有谁真正在乎过那些平凡的角落里正在散发着的爱的芬芳呢?

一元钱,对于我们这些生活在不愁吃、不愁穿的家庭里的人来说,是多么微不足道啊;对于那些腰缠万贯、日夜穿行于灯红酒绿之中的富人来说,更是不足挂齿了。但是,这一元钱,对于一个以捡垃圾为生的老人来说,却是一笔不小的财富。他要捡多少斤废纸才能换得回来啊!或许,这位老人同样也需要人们帮助;或许,不识字的他根本不知道什么叫募捐。但是,他知道:向他人伸出援助之手,献出一份自己的力量,哪怕再小,也是一种必要之举。

再看看社会上一些富人。为了一次生日、一场婚礼、一次聚会,他们不惜恣意挥霍,浪费为乐,仅仅是为了向他人炫耀,仅仅是为了满足自己的虚荣之心。然而,对于那些需要帮助的人们,他们常常不屑一顾,一分钱也舍不得,似乎在此时,他们知道了自己很贫穷。

是的,他们很穷,他们真的很穷。虽然他们有用不完的钞票,但是恰恰少了一个叫爱的东西。他们认为金钱是万能的,可以买到香车别墅,买到商铺公司,甚至买到荣誉地位,买到„„但他们却不知道,爱,这个无价之宝,是再多的金钱都无法买到的。这,便是富人的悲哀。

一道题有多种算法,但是,无论哪一种算法都无法正确计算出爱这道题。数学上也有许多公式,可以计算出许许多多需要计算的东西。但是,这些跟真理一样准确的公式,用来计算真爱就会失灵。因为这些公式有它自己适用的范围,在情感这一个领域里,至今还没有谁能够用它准确地计算出真爱的价值。

在这个真情淡化的年代,在这个真爱淡化的年代,一些或许因为贫穷而被世人淡忘的人们,正用生命里那条流淌着朴素的爱的热血感动着这个世界。他们的爱心,犹如沙漠中的一泓清泉滋润着我们日渐干涸的心灵;他们的爱心,犹如一串清越优雅的笛音唤醒我们即将冷漠的灵魂。面对他们,我们能够保持沉默么?我们能够无动于衷么?

爱,与真情同在;爱,与日月同辉。但是,爱,真正的爱,决不会与金钱同行!

【写作点拨】

应该说,金钱与我们中学生的生活联系得还不是特别紧密。如果要我们来对金钱作一番评头论足,谈其价值、意义,恐怕有些难度。因此,在写“金钱”这一话题作文时,就一定要特别关注写作角度的选择。那么,怎样来选择合适的写作角度呢?关键点是:应着力将金钱作为一种叙述的载体或线索,而非着眼于金钱本身。

一、谈自己对金钱的感悟和理解

关于金钱众说纷纭,我们不要求人云亦云,只希望同学们根据自己的所见所闻和所感谈出自己的金钱观或自己非常认同的金钱观,文中既要有明确的观点,又要有相应的事实来支撑观点。

二、以金钱为载体叙述与其有关的故事

可以记录生活,也可以从创新的角度去想象钱的经历或命运以反映一种社会现象,或者引起人们的一种思考。

作文七:《初中以金钱为话题的作文:金钱与道德》800字

一个观众曾这样问演员:“请你为一种从未用过的化妆品做广告,而支付的报酬很吸引人。你将如何?”演员脱口而出:“当然做!”这种不假思索的回答着实使我吃了一惊。现在,演员、明星们做广告也不是什么新闻了,确实也没什么可多加指责的,因为这对企业的产品推销和演员的自身利益都有好处。但是,从演员来说,除了考虑报酬,是不是还有一个道德问题?答应为一种从未用过的化妆品做广告,首先考虑的当然是金钱,至于化妆品对人体是否有害,已经不是他考虑的范围了。这对因轻信这位演员而去买劣质化妆品的观众,无疑是欺骗;而对演员自己,为不了解的东西叫好,本身就是欺骗。因此,“当然做”这三个字不应是那么容易说出口的。道德与金钱,孰轻孰重,并不仅是一些演员该考虑的事。本来,道德高于金钱,这是自古以来,为大多数人认可并遵循的一条人生准则。陶渊明不为五斗米而折腰,更不用说做违心、欺骗的事了。而现在,却出现了这种为金钱的“当然做”现象,如果推而广之,那么全社会无疑成了一个追名逐利、充满铜臭味的污水潭。当然,“当然做”不仅限于做广告,在政治、经济、文化等各项事业中,之所以出现了那么多为人民所深恶痛疾的歪风邪气,恐怕和这种“大胆”的“当然做”不无关系。有些人把权和利连在一起,为了削尖脑袋向上怕,当然可以把黑的说成红的,把好的说成坏的,踩着人家肩膀上去;为了花花绿绿的钞票当然可以把公家的变为私人的,把私人的帐记上公家的帐本;当然也可以写写黄书、倒倒黄带,干些丧失国格、人格的事……凡此种种,我们已经不是第一次见到了。利欲熏心,为了金钱不惜损公肥私,陷害他人,丧失道德、良心、尊严,给我们的社会带来了多少危害!比比这些,那个演员为从未用过的化妆品做广告只不过是小巫见大巫,但他们本质上都一样———把金钱看得高于道德。在现今发展社会主义商品经济的时期,更应该把道德看得高于金钱,因为只有在道德力量的约束下,金钱才能发挥它的作用——这就是那个演员的回答给我们的启示

金钱的得与失

钱能买到钟表,但是买不到时间;

钱能买到药品,但是买不到健康;

钱能买到书籍,但是买不到知识;

钱能买到礼品,但是买不到朋友;

钱能买到奖品,但是买不到荣誉;

钱能买到物质,但是买不到精神;

钱很重要,但钱不是万能的。

拥有钱,并不代表幸福;而失去钱,并不代表痛苦。

每到春节,当我收到压岁钱时,我总是把它存在我的储蓄罐里。我一想到可以用它买许许多多我想要的东西时,就心花怒放。可青海玉树发生的大地震,却打破了我的这个想法。看到受灾人民的房屋被摧毁的场景,我真想为以后的灾后重建贡献一份自己的力量。

我不禁想起了我的压岁钱,正好这时我们学校也举办了为灾区捐钱的活动,我就用我的压岁钱去捐钱。每当想起灾区人民正在用我们的钱买生活必须品,我比买了任何我喜欢的东西还要高兴。

作文十:《[优秀作文]金钱有价爱心无价》1000字

金钱有价爱无价

李放飞

2011年7月10日,我们小主人报的15名小记者来到历东商务大厦的国泰君安证券公司,在这里,我们将与君安证券公司职工的子女一起,举办一场主题为“爱心相连,心手相牵”爱心拍卖活动。这次活动的内容是让我们小学生每人拍卖一件自己的物品,拍卖所得全部用于捐献给社会福利院的孤残儿童

我找了第一排的座位坐下,等到来参加本次活动的人到的差不多了,老师便开始发号码,我本来是二号,结果因座位靠前所以换成了一号,按规则,我们是以牌号为顺序拍卖的,天啊!我是第一个上场啊!

由于怕忘词,场下我把词背了一遍又一遍,直到拍卖师宣布拍卖开始。我拿着那幅我画的工笔画——红牡丹,自信的走上台去,工作人员帮我把画展开,未等我拿起麦克风就听见场下有许多家长说:“唉,不错,画的很好,这幅画很喜庆啊……”我熟练的介绍了我的画:“这幅画是我自己画的比较满意的一幅工笔画。牡丹是我国的国花,它象征着吉祥富贵,中间的花心是中国共产党为首的领导核心,外圈的花瓣是万众一心的全国人民,共同建设我们的新中国,旁边那个火红的花苞象征着我们少年儿童美好的未来。我希望能通过这一幅画,给贫困山区的孩子一次上学的机会。我打算起价30元,谢谢!”

拍卖师开始拍卖我的作品了。“31元”、“32元”、“33元”、“34元”随着价钱的升高,我的心也不由的紧张起来:我的画到底能让多少人认可呢?我到底可以筹到多少元呢?最后,有人用39元拍走了我的画,我可以捐39元给福利院的孩子们了!就在我和买者小弟弟交接作品时,所有的记者都围了上来,摄像头对着我俩频闪,我感到无比自豪和激动,一时之间也不知该说什么了。

接下来拍卖继续进行,一位小弟弟拿出自己心爱的玩具——电动恐龙来拍卖,起价50元的恐龙,竟然卖到了100多,他的贡献真大呀!

看到同学们拿出的一件件个人物品,我很感慨,这些物品大都是自己心爱的物品和精心绘制、书写的作品,他们愿意为了爱心而付出心血和金钱,尽自己一份微博之力,真让人敬佩!

在拍卖会上我也拍到了两件满意的作品,一件是名为“天下一家”的简笔画,另一件是“登泰山而小天下”的毛笔字,我很开心!

这次拍卖总拍得2617元,加上国泰君安证卷公司捐献的2000元,共捐了4617元呢!下午,我们跟张老师来到济南市儿童社会福利院把钱亲手交给了院长,这件事圆满结束了,我们的爱心也得到很好的传递。通过这次的活动,我深切体会到金钱是有限的,我们的爱心是无限的!只要人人都付出一点爱,世界将变成美好的未来!
