English Original
A man was on his way to a rich man's house. Along the road, he saw a box of fine apples by the roadside. "I don't need these apples," he thought. "The rich man will surely give me plenty of delicious food." So he picked up the apples and threw them into the dust.
He continued his journey until he reached a river. The river had swollen and become too wide to cross. After waiting for a while, he said, "I cannot reach the rich man's house today because I cannot cross this river."
He began to walk back home. Having eaten nothing all day, he grew hungry. When he came upon the apples again, he was glad to retrieve them from the dust and eat them.
中文翻译
一个人正在前往一位富人家的路上。沿途，他在路边发现了一箱好苹果。他想：“我不需要这些苹果，富人肯定会给我很多美味的食物。”于是，他捡起苹果，把它们扔进了尘土里。
他继续前行，来到一条河边。河水上涨，河面变得太宽，无法渡过。等了一会儿后，他说：“我今天到不了富人家了，因为我过不了这条河。”
他开始往家走。一整天没吃东西，他感到饥饿。当他再次遇到那些苹果时，他高兴地把它们从尘土中捡起来吃掉了。
