  Once upon a time, there was a foolish boy who had a bag full of beautiful marbles. Now this boy was quite proud of his marbles. In fact, he thought so much of them that he would neither play with them himself nor would he let anyone else play with them. He only took them out of the bag in order to count and admire them; they were never used for their intended purpose. Yet that boy carried that coveted bag of marbles everywhere he went.

Even though he had not yet earned enough with which to purchase any marbles, he had faith and purchased the marble bag. He took special care of the bag and dreamed of the day it would contain marbles with which he could play and share with his friends.

  还有一个聪明的男孩,他希望他能拥有这样一包美丽的大理石。因此,男孩努力去挣钱想买一个装大理石的好包。尽管他挣的钱不足以买任何大理石,但他却信念坚定,于是买了一个大理石包。他对这个包特别小心,梦想有一天包里装满大理石,他自己与大理石玩耍,并且跟朋友一起玩耍。

  It didn't take long, once the foolish boy's marble bag developed a hole, for the wise boy to begin to find those beautiful marbles, one at a time, lying unnoticed on the ground. And, one by one, he added them to his marble bag. The wise boy thus gained a fine bag full of marbles in no time at all. This boy played with the marbles and shared them with all of his friends. And he always took special care of the bag so he wouldn't lose any.

  自从笨小孩的包破了洞后,聪明的男孩开始发现那些漂亮的大理石一个接一个地躺在地上,没人理睬。于是,他就一个接一个地将它们捡起,放到自己的大理石包里。就这样,聪明的男孩很快便有了一包美丽的大理石。从此,他自己玩大理石,并和他的所有朋友一起玩。他总是给予装大理石的包无微不至的关心,以免包破后把大理石丢了。
