One day the rich man said，"Tailor, I will give you a bag full of money every day if you will stop singing.”

有一天富人说:“裁缝，如果你停止唱歌我会每天给你满满一袋钱。”

“Fine ,”said the tailor. And so the tailor stopped singing and be-came richer and richer. But the more money he got from the rich man,the more unhappy the became, because he wanted very much to sing again.

“很好，”裁缝说。因此裁缝停止了唱歌，而且变得越来越富有。但他从富人这里得到的钱越多，他就越不快乐，因为他非常想再唱歌。

最后他把所有的钱还给了富人。“给你，”他说，“拿着你的钱。如果我不能唱歌，我是不会快乐的。”

因此他把钱还给了富人，又开始歌唱了。他唱了又唱，他比以前更加快乐。
