Most people pay a lot for their education in life.

The clever person uses what other people pay to gain his education.

大部分的人為了得到教育(學習的經驗)，會付出很多。

一個聰明的人，會利用別人所付出的，而得到他的教育(學習的經驗)。

A certain homeless man was often seen wandering around the market place.

Everybody in the town thought that this homeless man must be very stupid.

They often teased him, made fun of him, and laughed at him.

One of the methods they used to tease him was to take two coins, a five-dollar coin 

and a ten-dollar coin, and offer them to the homeless man.

The homeless man always picked the five dollar coin. And every one would laugh.

He was so stupid! He couldn't tell a five-dollar coin from a ten-dollar coin!

One day a kind old lady couldn't stand it any longer and she asked the homeless man.

"Really can't you tell the difference between a five-dollar and a ten-dollar coin?"

The homeless man gave her a sly smile and said, "Of course I can. But if I took the

ten-dollar coin. They wouldn't play this game with me anymore."

有一個流浪漢，常常在某一個市場裡走動，

村莊的人都覺得他很笨，他們常常會譏笑他、捉弄他。

有一個捉弄他的方法，就是拿兩個錢幣，一個五塊錢，一個十塊錢，

讓這個流浪漢自己選擇他要哪一個。

他每次都會選擇五塊錢的錢幣，大家都會捧腹大笑，看他那麼傻呼呼的，

他也不知道，五塊錢跟十塊錢的分別，

有一天，有一個很有愛心的老夫人，她有一點受不了，她問這個流浪漢說：「你

真的分不清楚五塊錢跟十塊錢的錢幣嗎？」

那個流浪漢露出一個狡猾的微笑，他說：「我當然知道，不過如果我選擇十塊錢

的錢幣，他們就不會再跟我玩這個遊戲了。」

When we try to show other people how smart we are,

we often end up showing our stupidity.

Treating people with kindness and humility is a sign of true wisdom.

當我們要表現我們的聰明，

我們常常會露出我們的愚笨跟無知。

用柔和跟謙虛的態度來對待別人，才是真正有智慧的作為。
