Life is a series of choices and we can’t always foresee the consequences（后果）.
Harry Saleen, an obese（过渡肥胖的）man with too much money and power, faced a choice. Outside his office waited his personal doctor, bringing him the important news about the onlymedicine that could save his life. On the other side of the world, one of his engineers waited for his decision on an important matter of business.
His secretary asked him whether she could bring the doctor in. The billionaire businessman made his decision. “Business comes first,” answered Saleen. Despite the health problem caused by his huge weight, he was still crazy about making money. He raised a fat finger, and one of his staff（员工）hurried to switch on a large television set.
On the screen appeared his engineer. They talked by satellite directly to each other although they were thousands of miles apart. “It’s all ready to explode（爆破）, Mr. Saleen,” he said. His engineer was standing above Pakan Valley in South America. A few months ago, it had been a rainforest. Then Saleen’s men came, cutting down all the valuable trees and forcing the villagers to move out. Across the valley, a dam（大坝）had been built to provide power for the factories that Saleen planned to build in that area. The factories would bring him great profits. Seeing no reason to delay, he ordered the engineer to press the button. There, in the valley, a cloud of dust rose, followed by a dull（沉闷的）explosion., A large river changed its course（河道）and water flooded into the valley.
“Good, that’s it. Now get that doctor in here,” he commanded.
The doctor came in with a worried look and started to examine his wealthy patient. “You are doing very well, Mr. Saleen. The only medicine is saving your life. But the difficulty is getting more of it.”
