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. His words imply that money is one of the crucial factors for love. If a man is

10、 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.

11、 the old mans firm belief that the young man will eventually come back to him for the life-cleaner.
