This story tells us a story about Dick. He saved a boy who fell into foaming water. He is an expert swimmer, he tries his best to save the little boy. As return, the boy’s father offered him a job which earned ten dollars a week. It;s more than what he earned before. It’s just a windfall. But at last, Dick decided to leave his work to people who need it more than him. I think it’s a young gentleman on the way to fame and fortune.
For many people, they will not risk their live for strangers. However, Dick did it. Maybe many people will say that this is a stupid action. It’s dangerous to make a joke with own lives. But I think we should recognize his behavior. It is selflessness. Nowadays, fewer people willing to help the others. They just take care about themselves. They always scheme how to put off rivals. They regard fame and fortune as centers of their lives. They struggle whole lives for fame and fortune. However, they forget something more important. It is the real value of lives. Society competition makes us lose the correct values. We don’t know what we really want. Actually, we should realize that fame and fortune exists short. But what we learn from the life process can exist longer.
