贪得无厌

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，有个人走在路上遇到一个神仙。原来，这个神仙还是他的老朋友呢。

神仙看到他生活很困难，就用手指朝路边的一块砖头一指，砖头立即变成了金砖。神仙把金砖送给了他。

他并不满足。神仙又把手指一指，门前的一尊大石狮马上变成了一尊金狮，也送给了他。可是他仍旧嫌少。

神仙问他：“朋友，你要多少才能满足？我怎么做你才满意？”

他支支吾吾地说：“我想要你的这个手指头！”
