守财奴的故事

从前有一个老头,老头儿家里十分有钱。他既没有儿子,也没有女儿,独自一个人居住在一间大房子里。

老头儿每天拼命赚钱,一刻也不肯停下。就这样,他赚回了很多很多的钱,可是他从不轻易花一文钱。实在迫不得已要拿钱出来买粮食,他也会心疼得好几天吃不香睡不好。平时遇到有人向他借钱,他总是一口回绝。

有一天,一个人来找这个老头儿,可怜巴巴地说:“我的老母亲一直瘫痪在床,妻子身体弱,干不了什么活儿,偏偏昨天小儿子又得了急病,真是祸不单行哪!实在没钱给儿子治病,求求您发发慈悲,借一点钱给我吧。”老头几似乎一点也没被打动,毫不怜悯地说:“你求我有什么用呢?我也没有钱啊!”

借钱的人这样苦苦哀求,老头儿被缠得实在受不了了。他慢吞吞地拿出5文钱,极不情愿地把钱交给人家。借钱的人伤心地流着眼泪说:“5文钱叫我一家怎么活呀,你也太狠心了!”老头儿的眼泪也下来了,不过他是心疼他的钱。

不久,老头儿死了。因为他没有继承人,他的田地、房产都被官府没收,他积累的钱财也都充实国库了。

钱财生不带来,死不带去,本是供人用的,老头儿却被金钱驱使,成了钱的奴仆。

在处理钱的问题上,我们可不能学老头儿,要让金钱用到该用的地方去。

守財奴的故事

從前有一個老頭,老頭兒家裡十分有錢。他既沒有兒子,也沒有女兒,獨自一個人居住在一間大房子裡。

老頭兒每天拼命賺錢,一刻也不肯停下。就這樣,他賺回了很多很多的錢,可是他從不輕易花一文錢。實在迫不得已要拿錢出來買糧食,他也會心疼得好幾天吃不香睡不好。平時遇到有人向他借錢,他總是一口回絕。

有一天,一個人來找這個老頭兒,可憐巴巴地說:“我的老母親一直癱瘓在床,妻子身體弱,幹不了什麼活兒,偏偏昨天小兒子又得了急病,真是禍不單行哪!實在沒錢給兒子治病,求求您發發慈悲,借一點錢給我吧。”老頭幾似乎一點也沒被打動,毫不憐憫地說:“你求我有什麼用呢?我也沒有錢啊! 

借錢的人這樣苦苦哀求,老頭兒被纏得實在受不了了。他慢吞吞地拿出5文錢,極不情願地把錢交給人家。借錢的人傷心地流著眼淚說:“5文錢叫我一家怎麼活呀,你也太狠心了!”老頭兒的眼淚也下來了,不過他是心疼他的錢。

不久,老頭兒死了。因為他沒有繼承人,他的田地、房產都被官府沒收,他積累的錢財也都充實國庫了。

錢財生不帶來,死不帶去,本是供人用的,老頭兒卻被金錢驅使,成了錢的奴僕。

在處理錢的問題上,我們可不能學老頭兒,要讓金錢用到該用的地方去。

The Story of a Miser

Once upon a time, there was a very rich old man. He did not have any children, and he lived in a very large house.

Every day, the old man would furiously try to make more money, but he would never spend any of that money. He never wanted to use his money to buy the necessary articles; as a result, he didn’t eat well nor sleep well.  If anyone wanted to borrow money, he would always say no.

One day, a person in desperate need of money came to ask to borrow some. He told the old man his situation was dire and really needed money. The old man heard his story, but did not feel any sympathy for him while stating he did not have any money he could lend him.

The poor man begged even more, and the old man finally relented. The old man went to his vault and took out 50 cents. Upon receiving the money, the poor man cried, “How is my family supposed to survive on 50 cents? Aren’t you being heartless?” Instead of reacting, the old man just stood there and cried over his money.

After a while, the old man died. Because he did not have any surviving relatives, his land, house, and money were all confiscated by the government.

This old man became entirely dominated by obtaining money, but unfortunately, having money didn’t do anything for him.

We can learn from this old man how not to spend our lives. We should spend money wisely on places it should be used instead of saving it all up.
