4、The Miser
守财奴
A MISERsold all
that
he had and bought a lump of
gold,
which
he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall
and went to look at daily. One of his workmen observed his
frequent
visits
to
the spot and decided
to watch his
movements.
He soon
discovered
the
secret
of
the hidden
treasure,
and
digging
down, came to the
lump of
gold,
and stole
it.
The Miser,
on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his
hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him
overcome with
grief
and learning
the
cause, said, "Pray
do not
grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole,
and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you
quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had
it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."

察，知道了真情，趁他走后，挖出金块拿走了。 守财奴再来时，发现洞中的金块没有了，便捶胸痛哭。有个人见他如此悲痛，问明原因后， 说道：“喂，朋友，别再难过了，那块金子虽是你买来的，但并不是你真正拥有的。去拿一 块石头来，代替金块放在洞里，只要你
心里想着那是块金子，你就会很高兴。这样与你拥有 真正的金块效果没什么不同。依我之见，你拥有那金块时，也从没用过。 ”
这故事说明，一切财物如不使用等于没有。
