Long, long ago there was a young couple who lived in a small thatched hut in a gully. they were so poor that every day they had to cut two bundles of firewood and carry them to the market on their backs. One day, the young couple came back from the mountain carrying the firewood. they put one bundle in the courtyard and planned to sell it at the market the next day to buy rice.the other bundle they kept in the kitchen for their own use. when they woke up the following morning, the bundle in the courtyard had mysteriously disappeared. there was nothing to do but to sell the bundle the which they had kept for Themselves. That same day, they cut another two bundles of firewood as usual.The old man untied the bundle and when he found the man inside it, he asked, "other people only cut one bundle of firewood a day. why do you cut two?" The woodcutter made a bow and replied, "we are penniless. That's why my wife and I cut two bundles of firewood a day. One bundle is for our own use and the other we carry to the market. With it we can buy rice to the make porridge. " The old man chuckled and said to the woodcutter in a warmhearted tone of voice, "I've known for a long time that you are a decent couple and lead a frugal and hardworking life. i shall give you a piece of treasure. take it back with you and it will provide you with your livelihood. " As soon as he had finished speaking, there came seven fairies who led the young man into a magnificent palace.The woodcutter was beside himself with joy, "I'd like that moneybag, the one full of precious things. give me that round, bulging one." he chose the biggest one and took it down. Just at this moment, the white-haired old man came in and, with a stern expression on his face, said to the young man, "you can not take that one. I'll give you an empty one.every day you can take one tael of silver out of it, and no more. "the woodcutter reluctantly agreed. he took the empty moneybag and, clinging onto the enormous rope, he was lowered to the ground. once home, he gave the moneybag to his wife and told her the whole story. she was most excited. in the daytime they went as usual to cut firewood. but from then on,"Let's buy an ox." The wife did not agree. A few days later, the husband suggested again, "how about buying a few acres of land?" His wife did not agree with that either. a few more days elapsed, and the wife herself proposed, "let's build a little thatched cottage." The husband was itching to spend all the money they had saved and said, "since we have so much money in hand,why do not we build a big brick house? " the wife could not dissuade her husband and reluctantly went along with his idea. the husband spent the money on bricks, tiles and timber and on hiring carpenters and masons. from that time on, Neither of them went into the mountain to cut firewood any more. the day came when their pile of silver was almost exhausted,The woodcutter felt very sad. his wife came over and consoled him, "we can not depend on the magic moneybag from heaven. let's go back to the mountain to cut firewood as we did before. that's a more dependable way of earning a living." From that day on, the young couple once again went up to the mountain to cut firewood and led their old, hardworking life. What is the main idea of the text?
