The miser and his gold 

One night a robber2 stole all the gold. When the miser came again, he found nothing but an empty hole. 

He was surprised, and then burst into tears.All the neighbors gathered around him. 

He told them how he used to come and visit his gold. 

"Did you ever take any of it out?" asked one of them. "No," he said, "I only came to look at it." "Then come again and look at the hole," said the neighbor, "it will be the same as looking at the gold." 

從前，有個守財奴將他的金塊埋到一棵樹下，每周他都去把他挖出來看看。

一天晚上，一個小偷挖走了所有的金塊。守財奴再來查看時，發(fā)現(xiàn)除了一個空洞什么都沒有了。

守財奴便捶胸痛哭?？蘼曇齺砹肃従印?/p>

他告訴他們這里原來有他的金塊。

問明了原因后，一個鄰居問：“你使用過這些金塊嗎？” “沒用過，” 他說，“我只是時常來看看?！薄澳敲?，以后再來看這個洞，”鄰居說，“就像以前有金塊時一樣?！?/p>
