what I liked from this one was that is was pretty easy to read, and you could extract a lesson from it. To see what really makes us rich (and it's not material things).
Flaunting one's wealth is never good, being simply rich is very risky.
I heard of a man who won the lottery. He was ecstatic at first. He was a good man too. Letters would flow in non-stop from people asking for help (that is money); he helped who he could and thought really needed it. He expanded his forklifting company... but sadly, with time many of his clients began to sue him... taking advantage of this multi-millionaire.
His granddaughter was abducted and sequestered. The bad men asked for loads of money; money the man could not give (for he had lost most of it already). His granddaughter was murdered, I believe. He really didn't want to endanger his family and felt very guilty, so he backed away from them. He spent the rest of his money drinking and I think soliciting prostitutes.
