守财奴
The Miser
有一个守财奴把所有的家产都变卖了，换成了金块，并秘密地埋在了墙角。他总是担心金块会被别人偷走，于是每天都走去看着自己的宝藏。一个住在附近的牧羊人经过一段时间的观察，知道了守财奴的秘密。于是在守财奴离开之后，就把他的金块偷走了。第二天，守财奴发现洞中的金块不见了，便放声痛哭。一个人路过见他如此悲痛，问明原委后，安慰他道：“喂，朋友，别再伤心了，你用一石头代替金块重新放进洞里，然后把它想象成金块，你就会很高兴了。这和你拥有真正的金块效果是相同的。因为在我看来，你拥有那金块时，也并没有好好利用过它。”
一切财物如不使用等于没有。
A Miser sold 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.”
