　　My brother, Henry, has an excellent job at a bank．I couldn’t believe him when he told me that he had decided to give it up．Though I tried to make him change his mind, I failed completely．

　　“You should reconsider your decision,” I said．“ You have already spent five years in the bank and you could have a wonderful future．You might become a bank manager by the time you are thirty-five．”

　　“ I know,” Henry answered．“ I have got no complaints(抱怨)with the bank．It is a pleasant job．The bank manager told me that my future was excellent．”

　　“ Then why do you want to leave?” I asked．

　　“ It’s the money,” Henry said．

　　“ But you are getting a good salary(薪水)，” I answered．

　　“ I don’t mean that” Henry said．“What do I do in the bank?Well, at the moment all I do is to count money．I find it very depressing(压抑)．”

　　“What is depressing about counting money?” I asked．

　　“You don’t understand,” Henry answered．“ I enjoy counting my own money, but I hate counting other people’s!”
