中國寓言故事英語：貪得無厭
Greedy Beyond Measure貪得無厭
One day a man walking on the road met a celestial, who happened to be an old friend of his.
Seeing that his life was hard, the celestial pointed with his finger at a brick on the roadside, which turned into a gold brick at once. And he gave it to the man.
But the man was not satisfied. The celestial pointed again with his finger at a large stone lion at the gate, which at once turned into a gold lion. And he gave it to him too. But the man still complained it was not enough.
The celestial asked him:
"My friend, how much will be enough for you? What should I do to satisfy you?"
The man hummed and hawed and said:
"I want your finger."
一天，有個人走在路上遇到一個神仙。原來，這個神仙還是他的老朋友呢。
神仙看到他生活很困難，就用手指朝路邊的一塊磚頭一指，磚頭立即變成了金磚。神仙把金磚送給了他。
他並不滿足。神仙又把手指一指，門前的一尊大石獅馬上變成了一尊金獅，也送給了他。可是他仍舊嫌少。
神仙問他:
“朋友，你要多少才能滿足?我怎麼做你才滿意?”
他支支吾吾地說:
“我想要你的這個手指頭!”
