Once, there was a man living in a small village on the hill. He has a statue (雕像), but he put it at his door, facing downwards, because he didn’t like it at all.
One day, a man from the city passed by his house. This man was full of knowledge (知识). He asked the owner if he could sell the statue as soon as he saw it. He owner laughed and said, “Who will like this dirty stone?” The man from the city said,” I will give you five dollars for it.” The owner was surprised and agreed, so the man took the statue to the city.
A few months later, the man from the village went to visit the city. When he walked around the street, he saw many stone statues standing in front of a shop, and a man shouted in a loud voice (声音), “Come in and enjoy the most wonderful statue in the world. Only ten dollars to enjoy this most excellent statue.”
The man from the village paid ten dollars and entered the shop. He was very surprised when he saw the statue in the shop, because it was the statue that he himself had sold for only five dollars.
