The Man Who Loved Money (2)

守財奴 (2)

One night, the man looked in the box and saw that the money was gone. Someone had stolen it! "I've been robbed!" he shouted. "My precious money is gone!" He lay down on the bed and cried.

The neighbors heard him and came over to see what was wrong. When they heard the story, one neighbor said, "Don't cry over your money. You never used it anyway. Fill the box with paper and imagine it is money. It will do you just as much good."

有一天晚上，那個人看了看盒子，發現錢不見了。有人把它偷走了！他大叫：「我被搶啦！我寶貴的錢不見了！」他躺在床上哭。

鄰居聽到了，就過來看看發生了什麼事。當他們聽完整件事情之後，其中一個鄰居說：「別再為你的錢哭泣了，反正你也從來不用錢。在盒子裡面裝紙，把它當成錢吧。對你而言，它的作用跟真的錢一樣。」
