English Original
One day, a man walking on the road met a celestial, who happened to be an old friend.
Seeing the man's hardship, the celestial pointed his finger at a roadside brick, turning it into gold, and gave it to him.
Yet, the man was unsatisfied. The celestial then pointed at a large stone lion by the gate, transforming it into a golden lion, and gave that to him as well. Still, the man complained it was not enough.
The celestial asked, "My friend, how much will be enough? What should I do to satisfy you?"
The man hummed and hawed before saying, "I want your finger."

一天,有个人在路上遇到一位神仙,碰巧是他的老朋友。
神仙见他生活困苦,便用手指向路边的一块砖头一指,砖头立刻变成了金砖,并送给了他。
然而,此人并不满足。神仙又指向门前的一尊大石狮,石狮立刻变成了一尊金狮,也送给了他。可这人仍旧嫌少。
神仙问他:"朋友,你要多少才够?我怎么做你才满意?"
这人支支吾吾地说:"我想要你的手指头!"
