　　“我想给你一个忠告，

　　Return home and give the four gold pieces you have left to your poor old father你往回走吧，把剩下的四个金币带回去给你可怜的爸爸，who is weeping because he has not seen you for many a day."他正在哭呢，因为很久都没有再见你了。”

　　"Tomorrow my father will be a rich man, for these four gold pieces will become two thousand."“明天我爸爸就能变成一位富翁，因为这四个金币会变成两千个。”

　　"Don't listen to those who promise you wealth overnight, my boy.

　　“别相信那些许诺你一夜暴富的人，我的孩子。

　　As a rule they are either fools or swindlers! Listen to me and go home."那种人通常不是傻子就是骗子！听我的话回家吧。”
