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. ( )
