A level 2 Oxford Bookworms Library graded reader. Retold for Learners of English by John Escott.

Money or love? Which is more important in life? Can money buy anything? Can it help a young man to marry the girl he loves? Does money really make people happy, or does it just cause problems? These four plays about money, love, and life are adapted from short stories written a hundred years ago by the great American storyteller O. Henry. Henry had his own difficulties with money and loneliness, and wrote from personal experience.

Quotes

  • bakhtiyarhas quoted6 years ago
    Richard Rockwell’s father is one of the richest men in New York. He thinks that money can buy anything you want. It certainly helps with most things, but can it buy love for young Richard?
    Bobby Gillian has a different problem. His uncle left him a thousand dollars in his will, and Bobby doesn’t know what to spend it on. People think that he is only interested in girls, champagne, and betting on horses, but perhaps there is more to him than that.
    For Towers Chandler and Miss Martha, money is less important than love. But they both discover the sad truth that it is only too easy to say or do the wrong thing, and lose their chance of love.
