These Are My Friends
虽然知道这样做是不对的，我还是想把Paulo Coelho在《Like The Flowing River》中的《These Are My Friends》完完整整地抄出来。
These Are My Friends by Paulo Coelho
‘The reason the king is so powerful is because he’s made a pact with the Devil,’ a very devout woman in the street told the boy, and he was intrigued.
Some time later, when he was travelling to another town, the boy heard a man beside him remark:
‘All this land belongs to the same man. I’d say the Devil had a hand in that.’
Late one summer afternoon, a beautiful woman walked past the boy.
‘That woman is in the service of Satan!’ cried a preacher angrily.
From then on, the boy decided to seek the Devil out, and when he found him, he said:
‘They say you can make people powerful, rich, and beautiful.’
‘Not really,’ replied the Devil. ‘You’ve just been listening to the views of those who are trying to promote me.’
看不懂英文的人：这篇大意是说人们都在说恶魔有多厉害，那些很厉害的人都是出卖灵魂给恶魔换来的，但事实上恶魔并没有这么厉害，只是这些人言过其实，而这些不断为恶魔宣传的人事实上是恶魔的好朋友。
