Bassanio looked at the three boxes without reading the writing on tjye.aim.He looked at the gold and silver.
"The world is tricked by appearances，"he said."People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold，silver，end jewels.People always agree with those who speak well，even if they say foolish things.Many people who seem brave are really cowards（膽小鬼）.Then Bassanio remembered the story of Midas，the man who loved gold too much and wanted everything to be gold.He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it.
"No.I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver.I will choose the lead（鉛） box with its ordinary color.It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world.Please give me the key to the lead box.Let happiness be mine." Bassanio said to himself.
One of the servants gave him the key，and he went to the box and opened it.Portia was very pleased.She could not believe it，until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it.When he saw the picture，he loved her even more.It was almost as beautiful as Portia jye.airself.He looked at all the parts of the picture.All of them were perfect.But Portia herself was even more beautiful than her picture.The writing inside the box told him that he should find Portia and look into her eyes.She would be his wife.Bassanio could not believe it."Is it really true？"he asked.
