【正文】 where the factory is located is now known as Hershey, Pennsylvania. Within the first decades of its existence, the town of Hershey thrived, as did the chocolate business.

This would mean that she always felt that she was protected and would always have money if she really needed it. When I was married in 1970 my husband who had heard this story, obtained a 1937 crown coin for me and I have always kept it in my wallet, and I have always had enough for my needs. A friend recently fell on hard times, partly through external (外部的) circumstances and partly through poor planning. Friends and I have loaned her money, paid her bills, given her food, and even tried to teach her budget techniques, but none of them has been a solution. She has just slipped deeper and deeper into financial trouble and depression. Last week she looked pale and unwell, very depressed and hopeless, very sad for a friend to see and I then thought about how the crown coin, a physical reminder of another39。s care and love had protected me, so I went to the bank for a $ 100 dollarbill. I told my friend the story and asked her to keep the $ 100 in the back of her wallet. It turned out that she didn39。t have a wallet, so she put the money in a little pencil case where she kept her coins. She immediately felt better—I feel rich, and thank you for being a good friend, she said, and we were both a bit teary. I went home and remembered a little wallet I had that I39。d never used, and thought, I39。ll give that to my friend.
