     John is an artist who does not have much money, but a very kind man. One day on his way home, he

 gave his last coins to a beggar (乞丐). When he saw another one, he forgot that he did not have any

 money. He asked the man to have lunch with him, and the beggar accepted, so they went into a small

  restaurant and had a good meal.

     After the dinner, John found he had no money at all. The beggar had to pay the bill. The artist was so

 sorry about this, so he said to the beggar, "Come home with me in a taxi, my friend , and I will give you

  the money for lunch."

     "Oh, no!" said the beggar answered quickly. "I had to pay for your lunch, but I'm not going to pay for

 you again!"
