He went on and came to a river. The river had become very big; so he could not go over it. He waited for some time; then he said, "I cannot go to the rich man's house today, for I cannot get over the river."
He began to go home. He had eaten no food that day. He began to want food. He came to the apples, and he was glad to take them out of the dust and eat them.
Do not throw good things away; you may be glad to have them at some other time.
「譯文」
壹個人正朝著壹個富人的房子走去，當他沿著路走時，在路的壹邊他發現壹箱好蘋果，他說：“我不打算吃那些蘋果，因為富人會給我更多的食物，他會給我很好吃的東西。”然後他拿起蘋果，壹把扔到土裏去。
他繼續走，來到河邊，河漲水了，因此，他到不了河對岸，他等了壹會兒，然後他說：“今天我去不了富人家了，因為我不能渡過河。”
他開始回家，那天他沒有吃東西。他就開始去找吃的，他找到蘋果，很高興地把它們從塵土中翻出來吃了。
不要把好東西扔掉，換個時候妳會覺得它們大有用處。
