In Xinjiang, most people knew the stories of Avantis (阿凡提). Avantis was a very clever man. People
liked him because he not only spoke for the poor but also was always ready to help them.
One day Avantis saw two men arguing with each other. A lot of people stood around them. One of the
two men was the owner of the eating house in the town and the other was a young man. The young man
just passed by the eating house. The owner of the eating house told the young man to pay him money. The
young man explained (解释) that he hadn't taken anything from the eating house. But the owner said that the
young man had taken the smell of the nice food from the eating house, and he must pay for it. So Avantis
went up to the owner and said, "I'll pay you the money." Avantis took out some coins from his pocket and
put them into his own bag. He shook (摇动) his bag, and people heard the sound of the coins. Then Avantis
said to the owner. "I have paid you the money."
