题目内容:
One day a ragged(衣衫槛楼的)beggar(乞丐)was creeping along from house to house. He carried an old wallet in one hand and at every house he asked for a little money to buy something to eat. As he was complaining at his misfortune(不幸),he kept wondering why people who had so much money were never satisfied and always wanted more.
He thought that if he only had enough money to buy food and clothing, he would be very happy and wouldn't want anything more.
At that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the beggar and stopped. She said to him:" I want to help you. Hold out your wallet and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition. All that falls into your wallet will be pure gold, but all that hits the ground will turn into dust. Do you understand?"
"Oh, yes I understand." said the beggar.
"Your wallet is old. Don't put too much in it," said Fortune.
The beggar opened his wallet and a stream of pure gold flowed into it. His wallet grew heavy.
"You are the richest man in the world now," said Fortune.“I think you should stop! Your wallet is going to break!" However, the beggar said he wanted one more handful.
