Unexpectedly, after carrying the rice for some distance, the poor man also panted and couldn't walk any further. The grandson complained:
不料，走了一段路程，穷人也气喘吁吁，走不动了。他就埋怨说：
Once he borrowed another bag of rice. He carried it half -- way and couldn't go any further, so he rested by the roadside. At this moment, a poor man in rags happened to pass by. He called this poor man, set the pay and let the poor man carry the rice for him.
有一次，他又借到了一袋米，背到半路上背不动了，只好在路旁歇脚。这时候，恰巧前面走来一个穷人，穿着破衣破裤。他就叫住穷人，讲好了工钱后，让穷人为他背米。
In the past, the grandson of a prime minister was a notorious spendthrift. He squandered all the family property and couldn't even afford his own meals, so he often borrowed rice from others.
从前，有个宰相的孙子是有名的败家子。他把家产都败光了，连饭也吃不上，常常向别人家借米。
"I am the grandson of a prime minister. It is natural that I can neither lift with my hands nor carry on my shoulder anything heavy. But you are from a poor family. Why are you also so useless?"
“我是宰相的孙子，手不能提，肩不能挑，那是常事。你是穷人出身，为什么也这样不中用呢？
Unwilling to give in, the poor man glared and retorted:
那人不服气，翻翻白眼说：
"How can you blame me? I am not from a poor family. I am the grandson of a prime minister, too."
“你怎么能怪我，我并不是穷人出身，我也是宰相的孙子呢！
