A Viper entering the workshop of a s
mith, sought from the tools the means of satisfying his hunger. He more particularly addressed himself to a File, and asked of him the favour of a meal. The File replied, "You must indeed be a simple-minded fellow if
you expect to get anything from me, who am accustomed to take from every one, and never to give anything in return."

The covetous are poor givers.

贪鄙只会给予别人不幸。
