QUESTION 1: TRANSLATION
Translate into French
Rapha and Emoh were neighbours. The former was poor, the latter rich. Each time Emoh passed in his big car, lie would stop to greet Rapha.
“If only I could be as rich as him,” Rapha often thought.
One day, he told Emoh what he had in his mind:
“I also want to be rich.”
“Really?” Emoh asked.
“Yes, Rapha responded. “Who doesn’t want to be happy?”
The very evening, the rich neighbour came with a big bag. He said it contained fifteen million and gave it to Rapha.
Rapha went back home earlier. However, he could not sleep that night. Whenever he heard any noise, he jumped out of bed. Thieves had surely come to steal his money. It went on like this till morning.
At daybreak, he went to Emoh’s house and said to him:
“Please take back your money. I haven’t slept this night!?”
Emoh looked at him, smiling:
“You see,” he said. “Money can’t bring happiness.”
