    O. Henry

    O. Henry (1862–1910) was the pseudonym of American author William Sidney Porter. Arrested for embezzlement in 1895, he escaped the police and fled to Honduras, where he wrote Cabbages and Kings (1904). On his return to the United States, he was caught, and served three years before being released. He became one of the most popular short story authors in history, known for his wit, surprise endings, and relatable, everyman characters.

      This book has 4 short stories.These stories make us think about money.Which is more important, money or love?Can money buy everything?Does money make us happy or bad?This book just made me think about money and love.It didn't give me answer.So I could think about it myself.I like money, so I think it is very important to live.But I think love is more important than money.Money can't love!

      If you have one thousand dollars,what do you do?Is money needed for true love?It seems to be usual question.And this book has four short stories about these theme.Each story is very short,so it is easier to read than other books.But because of that,I want to know more about the relation between money and love.My favorite story in this book is the first one.

      Money or love? Do you think which is more important?This book has 4 short stories about money and love.Of course,this book does not show the answer.You should think the answer by yourself.It's a little difficult.
