LESSON 9 The World’s Poorest President
Section 3 本文

Section 3
 Mujica’s speech at the Summit/made him known widely/to the world.// He was called/“the world’s poorest president”/because of his way of life.//
 Mujica actually lived a very humble life.// He lived in a small house/in the suburbs.// He got water from a well.// He plowed his land,/and grew vegetables and flowers there.// He even donated about 90% of his income/to charity.// His only possession of value/was a very old car.// Never did he need fancy things/to be happy.//
 Mujica said in an interview,/“I can live well/with what I have.// I’m called the poorest president,/but I’m not poor.// Truly poor people are/those who only work/to keep an expensive lifestyle/and endlessly want more and more.”//
