A rich old man loved his gold more than anything. 有个有钱的老头，最宝贝的就是他的金子。
He didn't spend it. 他从来舍不得花。
He buried it under a tree in his garden. 而是把它埋在了自家花园的一棵树下。
Every week, he went out, dug it up, 每个星期，他都会跑过去挖出来，
counted it, and buried it again. 数上一遍，然后再埋回去。
One night, a thief watched him do it. 一天晚上，有个小偷全看在眼里。
The next morning, the gold was gone. 第二天一早，金子就没了。
The old man cried so loudly that his neighbor came running. 老头哭得撕心裂肺，邻居赶紧跑了过来。
"Someone stole all my gold!" “有人把我的金子全偷光了！”
"That's awful," said the neighbor. “这也太惨了，”邻居说，
"What were you going to buy with it?" “你本来打算拿它买什么啊？”
"Buy? “买东西？
Nothing! 什么都不买！
I never spent any of it. 我一分钱都舍不得花，
I only looked at it." 我就光看看而已。”
The neighbor picked up a stone and dropped it in the hole. 邻居捡起一块石头扔进了坑里。
"Then look at this instead," he said. “那你以后就看这个吧，”他说，
"It will do exactly the same job." “反正效果都一样。”
Money you never use is no better than a stone in the ground. 永远不用的钱，和埋在地里的石头没什么两样。
