Riches or Wisdom


This week's story takes place in Baghdad, where the main character enjoys everything his gold can buy. He bought many books and stored them in the "House of Wisdom". Even though he had everything he wanted he still longed for wisdom. If you could have riches or wisdom which would you pick? And why?

I would choose wisdom, because if you have wisdom, put it to use, and go to college, you could get a good paying job, gain riches.

Wisdom because wisdom last longer than money and is more important.

Well thats kinda hard because i would want both!
And if i HAD to pick i guess it would have to be wisdom because it does last longer and when you buy stuff it doesnt last 4ever!

But if i had riches i would buy an apartment so i can get away from my 'rents! [even though im only 11and 1\2!] oh and go shopping in South hills!

i would have to choose wisdom because if you had wisdom you could know so much and its more important than riches because all you do mostly with riches is shop and you probubly wouldn't know as much stuff as wisdom

I would say wisdom because then I would have the wisdom to get a good job and THEN get riches.

I would pick wisdom because if I got a really good job then I would have both wisdom and money.
