It is the death potion that the old man makes

5、 most of his profits from, and intends to sell to his customers.)III.Answer the following questions. 1.What the old man means is that a young man who falls in love one-sidedly is seldom rich enough to win a girls heart.

Young peopl

10、e tend to be over-passionate for love, sometimes senselessly and irrationally, while the old, just like the old man who sells the mixtures, would take a cool and sensible, sometimes even cynical attitude towards love.5.
