Once a king asked a poor man Harold, “Why don’t you work to make money?” Harold answered, “No one gives me a job. My enemies have told everyone that I never finish any work on time (准时).”
The kind said, “Today you can go to my treasury (金银财宝库) and get as much treasure as you can, till sunset (日落).”
Harold ran home to tell his wife about it. She said, “Go and get the gold coins and diamonds now.”
“I cannot go now. I’m hungry. Cook lunch for me first.”
After lunch, Harold took a rest for an hour. Then he took a bag and left home. On the way, Harold felt hot, so he sat under a tree to rest. Two hours later, it became cool. Harold got ready to go, but he saw a man showing some magic tricks (魔术). Harold stopped to watch him for an hour.
When Harold reached the palace, it was already time for sunset. The palace gates had been closed. Harold lost a big chance because he didn’t realize the importance of time.
