The Miser(在线收听) |
A miser,to make sure the safety of his property,sold all that he had and converted it into a great lump of gold,which he hid in a hole under the ground,and went continually to visit and inspect it.This roused the curiosity of one of his workmen,who,suspecting that there was a treasure,went to the spot,and stole it away when his master's back was turned.When the miser returned and found the place empty,he wept andtore his hair But a neighbour who saw him in this extravagant grief,and learned the cause of it,said,“Fret yourself no longer,just take a stone and put it in the same place,and think that it is your lump of gold;now that you never meant to use it,this one will do you as much good as the other.” |
