The Man Who Loved Money (1)

守財奴 (1)

Once upon a time, there was a man who loved money. He loved it so much that he wouldn't spend any of the money he earned. He wouldn't part with even a tiny bit.

This stingy man didn't buy new clothes. Instead, he wore old clothes that he found in the garbage. He didn't buy food, either, and he became skinnier and skinnier.

He put all the money that he saved in a box and hid it under his bed. Every night, he opened the box and looked at all of his money.

從前有一個愛錢的人，他太愛錢，所以他都不花賺來的錢。他不願意花掉一分一毫。

這個小氣的人不買新衣服，相反地，他穿從垃圾堆裡發現的舊衣服。他也不買食物，結果越來越瘦。

他把所有積蓄放在一個盒子裡，然後藏在床底下。每天晚上，他都會打開盒子看著他的錢。
