The farmer soon came back to get his shoes,but when he put his foot into one of his shoes and felt something hard,he found the coin.Surprise appeared on his face.He looked at the coin,and then looked around,but no person was to be seen.He then began to put on the other shoe,but his surprise was doubled on finding the second coin.He then fell on his knees*,looked up to heaven and said aloud thanks.In the thanks he spoke of his wife who was in poor health,and his children without bread.The student stood there silent,his eyes filled with tears*.“Now,” said the teacher,“are you not much more pleased than if you had played your joke?”The young man replied,“You’ve taught me a lesson which I will never forget.I’ve really got the true meaning of the words that I have never understood before:It’s better to give than to receive.”翻译
