• What was the most surprising or interesting lesson you learned from the story?
  
  
  
  • Everybody can change their own characteristic easily, and it doesn’t need much time to change it. The characteristic of someone can be changed by their choice for living. As we know life is choice.
  
  
  • A kind man in this story not always be a kind man.
    (A kind man today not always a kind man in future)
  
  


• Why?
  
  
  
  • Because at the beginning of this story Hermann is a kind and cheerful man. He is economically and doesn’t want to spend his money for playing gamble. Whatever he is a kind man. But day after day he became a cruel man and greedy man because of treasure. He wanted to be a rich man, but he took a wrong way to get it. It means it was his choice for deciding his life.
  
  
  • Tomsky who is a gamble player, he became a kind person because he tried to be better than before. He stopped gamble and chose his life to be a kind person.
  
  


• How does that lesson connect to your own life?
  
  
  
  • Everybody who I ever know in some years ago, their characteristic not always in same with their own characteristic in some years before. From a cruel man become a kind man or vice versa.
  
  
  • A good man in the present not always good in the future.
