Question

A Good Lesson

Cheung Tsai was a good-for nothing fellow. He knew that his father, old Mr Cheung was a rich man. So Cheung Tsai was very careless with his father's money and spent as much as he pleased.

When old Mr Cheung found out, he did not give his son any more money. Cheung Tsai began to think of a plan. He went to his friends and borrowed money from each of them, saying, "Don't worry. My father is so rich that I can easily pay back all the money I have borrowed from you."

Soon, he owed all his friends so much money that they refused to lend him any more. At last they began to ask him for their money back. Cheung Tsai did not know what to do, so his friends all went to old Mr. Cheung and asked him for their money back.

Mr Cheung was very angry. He gave his son two huge sacks full of dollar coins and ordered him to go to the home of each of his friends to repay the money he owed them.

Cheung Tsai walked from house to house, carrying the heavy sacks of money. At last he thought to himself, "If giving money away to people is such hard work, how much harder must it be to earn the money."

From that day onwards, he was very careful with money.
