| A student in a university was one day taking a walk with a professor. As they went along, they was a pair of old shoes lying in the path, which they supposed to belong to a poor man. The student turned to the professor, saying, "Let us play the man a trick: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those trees, and wait to see his perplexity (窘迫) when he cannot find them." "My young friend," answered the professor, "we should never play jokes on others because of their being poor. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him." The student did so, and they both hid themselves behind the bushes. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. While putting on his coat he slipped his foot into one of his shoes and found the coin. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He put the money into his pocket. When he put on the other shoe, he found the other coin. He fell upon his knees, looked up to the sky and said aloud a fervent (热诚的) thanksgiving to the person who gave him the coins. The student stood there deeply moved, and his eyes was filled with tears. "Now," said the professor, "are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?" The youth answered, "You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget. I feel now the truth of these words, which I never understand before: It is more blessed to give than to receive." |
