Hi teachers, According to this contex: It is from a CD. (The Elephant Man) Yes sir, I see. But how can he get to the hospital? It’s going to be difficult.’ ‘Why, man? The hospital’s not far from here.’ ‘Well, yes, sir. I know. But, you see, Merrick can’t walk very well. He needs help.’ ‘You can come with him. Do you want more money? Is that it?’‘Well, yes, sir, I do.’ Which one is better? Neither of them? If not could you suggest me one please. a) What was the real shopkeeper's reason? He wanted more money. b) What was the real shopkeeper's intention? He wanted more money.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Alphecca Stars, Even though it wasn't clear, you really picked up the lines! Next time I'll be clearer. Thank you very much for your suggestion. I think, it is much better than this one, 'What did the doctor think the shopkeeper wanted?'
