Once,
a man travelled on a train. He felt hungry and got off at a station to look for
food. He bought the food in a short time but the train had gone away. It was
getting dark and he decided to find a place to spend the night. So he went to the
nearby hotels to look for a room but found none.
At
last he reached a small house. He asked permission for staying in it for a
night. The host agreed happily. The host served him food and gave him a room to
sleep in. But the host did not ask for anything in return.
When
it was seven at night, the man heard a knock at the door. He saw someone
well-dressed enter the house and ask the host to pay his debts (债务). The man came to know that the host was in need of money. The next
morning, he put a box in the room and left.
When
the host found the box, he saw a note saying, "You
helped me but did not expect anything from me. Yesterday I heard the talk and
knew your problem. This is what you need."
