单选题 Mr. Smith lives in a small and beautiful seaside town
and he has worked there for more than ten years. He and his wife have a very
comfortable house near the sea. During winter they would be quite happy, but
every summer a lot of their relatives and friends used to spend holidays in
their house because it was much cheaper than staying in hotel. Mr. Smith was
unhappy about it, but he didn't know what to do. Finally one day in July, Mr.
Smith complained to a clever friend of his who lived in the same place. "One of
my wife's cousins is going to bring her husband, children and their dog, and
spend ten days with us the next month again. How have you prevented all your
relatives and friends from coming to live with you in summer?" "Oh," the friend
answered, "that is not difficult at all. I just borrow money from all the rich
ones, and lend it to all the poor ones. After that, they seldom come again."
Hearing this Mr. Smith smiled.
