The beggar’s well-deserved dinner
Many years ago, there lived two woodcutters, Rahim and Rahman in a village. They went out every
36 to cut fire wood. After cutting wood. They would sit down and
37 their lunch from their boxes. Next they would
38 the firewood till the end of the day in the marketplace before going
39 .
One day, they were eating their lunch when Rahim noticed a beggar. The beggar
40 eyed the lunch and said, “I wonder if you can spare a little food for me.” Rahim, who felt
41 for him, was about to give him some of it, but was
42 back by Rahman. “ We
43 hard throughout the morning and
44 enough food for ourselves to see us through the
45 . So you see we cannot give you any food. But if you
46 , I can lend you my axe and we both will teach you how to cut firewood and sell it. And you’ll have
47 to eat and buy yourself a(n)
48 axe to cut more fire wood. This way, you can
49 a livelihood with dignity (尊严).”
The beggar joined them.
50 , Rahman showed him how to cut firewood. Thereafter they took him to the
51 and told him how to sell it.
At the end of the day, the beggar proudly took the
52 to Rahman to show them his earnings. Rahman took him to buy a new axe. Then the beggar entered an inn (客栈).
After he had gone, Rahman told Rahim, “By teaching him how to
53 his own trade, we have taught him a skill, which will last him a
54 . Now he will hever go hungry again.” As a very famous saying goes, “Don’t give them fish
55 teach them how to catch the fish.”
