Alice's beautiful garden and cozy cottage have become Milan's second home. Whenever she has doubts and difficult questions, she comes to Alice for answers.
Milan is curious about the source and use of money, and the kind and learned Alice not only explains to her the origin of the monetary system, but also reminds her that money cannot buy good things, but may bring greed and misfortune.
Milan: "Are you saying that love, can make people escape from the magic of money?"
Alice: "Yes, we can let money rule the world, but we can't let it rule our hearts. The person who has love in his heart knows that earning money is just a way of life, but not the goal of life."
......
So Milan asked her parents to allow her to work, and she decided to take the step of independent labor, using her hands to get a reasonable pay, and also to contribute her heart to the society.
