[00:02.47]浮华背后 Behind Fortunes
[00:05.75]Though fortunes achieved through hard work and other qualities can make people live cozily,
[00:12.09]they should never be considered as the aim of living.
[00:16.16]Therefore, in the process of seeking fortunes,
[00:19.64] people should never get them at the cost of life and other important things.
[00:30.46]The Gold Chain金链
[00:33.40]Once upon a time, there was a poor fisherman who always dreamed of becoming rich.
[00:40.23] He wished to become a millionaire1, and so did his wife.
[00:45.00]He had heard from some old men before,
[00:48.10]that several ships loaded with diamonds and gold had once sunk in the nearby seashore.
[00:54.85] Because of this, for a long time he kept searching that whole area for this treasure.
[01:00.76]One day, while he was sitting on the boat daydreaming2,
[01:04.69]he suddenly felt that the fishing rod3 was being weighed down by a heavy object.
[01:10.07] He excitedly pulled hard at it,
[01:12.82]and what he saw made him exclaim4,
[01:15.43]“Wow! A big, shiny5 gold chain!”
[01:19.02]He pulled hard at the gold chain to get it into the boat,
[01:22.65]but there seemed to be no end to it.
[01:25.58]His boat started to get over-loaded and the sea water filled his boat.
[01:30.07]However, he had begun dreaming of a big house,
[01:33.60]a big piece of land and buying horses and cows…
[01:37.40]He kept pulling in the chain though the boat kept sinking.
[01:41.56] The boat was finally submerged6 and he struggled to stay afloat.
[01:45.72] Unfortunately his feet were entangled7 in the gold chain and he drowned.
