A beggar, carrying a shabby(破旧的) old wallet, was begging alone from house to house. As he complained about his
36 , he kept wondering that people who lived in
37 houses should always be unsatisfied,
38 rich they might be, and they should go so far as to
39 all they have.
“Here, for example,” he said, the former master of this house succeeded in trading, and made himself very rich. By then, instead of stopping, and handing over his
40 to another, and spending the rest of his years
41 peace, he took to(从事) equipping ships. He expected to get mountains of gold; but the ships were
42 , and his treasures were lost. Now they all lie at the bottom of the sea, and he has found his
43 disappeared like those in dreams. In short, examples of this are
44 .
At this moment Fortune suddenly appeared to the beggar and said, “Listen! I have long wished to
45 you. Here are a lot of gold coins I have found. Hold out your wallet, and I will fill it with them; but only on this condition: All shall be gold that falls into the wallet, but if
46 of them falls out of the wallet to the ground, it
47 become dust. Consider this well. I have warned you I shall
48 keep my word. Your wallet is old, don’t fill it
49 its power.” The beggar was almost too overjoyed to breathe. He
50 felt the ground below his feet. A stream of coins were poured
51 it. The wallet soon became rather heavy.
“Is that
52 ?” “Not yet,” “Isn’t it
53 ?” “Never fear.” “Consider, you are a millionaire.” “Just a little more, just
54 a handful,” But at that moment the wallet broke, the gold coins
55 dust and Fortune disappeared. The beggar had nothing but his empty wallet and remained as poor as before.
