莊園主與農夫

山東省臨清市 郭倩供稿

1.One day,a farmer passed by a manor and met the owner unexpectedly.The owner looked at the farmer arrogantly2and said,“I have the largest sum of money.Why don’t you salute3me?”一天，一位農夫經過一所莊園，正好碰上了莊園主。莊園主傲慢地看著農夫，問道：“我是這里最有錢的人，你為什么不向我行禮？”

2.The farmer was very clever.With his head high,he said to the rich owner,“None of it is mine.Why should I salute you?”農夫很聰明，抬著頭，對莊園主說：“錢又不是我的，我為何要向你行禮？”

3.The farmer refused to do what the rich owneraskedhimto.Theownerwas embarrassed4.Then he said,“I’ll give you half of the coins in my pocket,but you must salute me.”農夫拒絕向莊園主行禮，莊園主感到尷尬。他對農夫說：“我把口袋里的錢分給你一半，但你必須向我行禮。”

4.The farmer answered with a smile,“Now I have the same sum of money as you,why should I salute you?”農夫微笑著答應了，說：“現在我們有一樣多的錢，我為什么非要向你行禮呢？”

5.Allthepeoplearoundburstinto laughter.The owner was very angry and began to shout,“You poor man,I’ll give you all of the coins,but you must salute me!”圍觀的人大笑進起來。莊園主很生氣，大聲吼道：“窮小子，我把剩余的錢全都給你，但是你必須得向我行禮！”

6.The farmer put the rest coins into his pocket,“Well,now I have a lot of coins,but you have none,you must salute me now!”農夫把剩余的錢也裝入了衣袋，說：“現在我有很多錢，而你身上卻一個字也沒有。你應該向我行禮了！”

感悟：智慧比金錢更重要。智慧可以創造財富，但金錢買不來智慧。金錢不是萬能的，它只會越用越少，而智慧是人一生用不盡的財富！明事理、能忍耐、勤勞、可靠、自律、謙遜、有德性，才是一個智慧的人。!
