从前，有一个穷人，他有三个儿子。他常对他们说：“我的孩子们，物质上来看，我们拥有的并不多。我们没有土地，没有牲畜，也没有黄金。但是，你们有聪明的脑袋，必须好好利用。留心一切事物，学会观察和学习。这样的能力将对你们大有裨益。”
There was once a poor man who had three sons. He often said to them, ＂My boys, we don＇t have much in the way of worldly goods. We don＇t have land or herds or gold. But you have fine minds and must use them. Notice everything.
