#上海生活头条[超话]# 260 THE MISER 吝啬鬼
A Miser sold everything he had, and melted down his hoard of gold into a single lump, which he buried secretly in a fi eld. Every day he went to look at it, and would sometimes spend long hours gloating over his treasure. One of his men noticed his frequent visits to the spot, and one day watched him and discovered his secret. Waiting his opportunity, he went one night and dug up the gold and stole it. Next day the Miser visited the place as usual, and, finding his treasure gone, fell to tearing his hair and groaning over his loss. In this condition he was seen by one of his neighbours, who asked him what his trouble was. The Miser told him of his misfortune; but the other replied, “Don’t take it so much to heart, my friend; put a brick into the hole, and take a look at it every day: you won’t be any worse off than before, for even when you had your gold it was of no earthly use to you.”

I'm 24 now,
Still at my parents house,
Thought I would have it figured out,
Friends getting married, one has a baby.
I barely recognize this town,
Mama asked me what my plan is for the future,
But I don't even know what's going on for dinner,
I'm 24 now, thought I could finally settle down.

#上海生活头条[超话]#256 THE FOX AND THE HEDGEHOG 狐狸与刺猬
A Fox, in swimming across a rapid river, was swept away by the current and carried a long way downstream in spite of his struggles, until at last, bruised and exhausted, he managed to scramble on to dry ground from a backwater. As he lay there unable to move, a swarm of horsefl ies settled on him and sucked his blood undisturbed, for he was too weak even to shake them off. A Hedgehog saw him, and asked if he should brush away the fl ies that were tormenting him; but the Fox replied, “Oh, please, no, not on any account, for these fl ies have sucked their fi ll and are taking very little from me now; but, if you drive them off, another swarm of hungry ones will come and suck all the blood I have left, and leave me without a drop in my veins.”
