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!"
