從前有一個富人和一個窮裁縫同住在一棟房。富人住樓上，窮裁縫住樓下。做衣服時裁縫喜歡唱歌。他唱了一首又一首。但富人喜歡多睡覺，歌聲打擾了他。

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

有一天富人說:“裁縫，如果你停止唱歌我會每天給你滿滿一袋錢。”

“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，”裁縫說。因此裁縫停止了唱歌，而且變得越來越富有。但他從富人這里得到的錢越多，他就越不快樂，因為他非常想再唱歌。

Finally he brought all his money back to the rich man.“Here ,”he said，"take your money. I cannot be happy們cannot sing.”

最后他把所有的錢還給了富人。“給你，”他說，“拿著你的錢。如果我不能唱歌，我是不會快樂的。”

And so he gave the money back to the rich man and went away singing. He sang and he sang and he was happier than ever before.

因此他把錢還給了富人，又開始歌唱了。他唱了又唱，他比以前更加快樂。
