The price of greed.
An antique dealer told me that once, in a secluded poor mountain village, he found an old cabinet of old-fashioned mahogany. After the surprise, I began to think about it. He chatted with the owner of the cabinet first, and then pretended to inadvertently offer 600 yuan to indicate that he was ready to buy the cabinet.
The host agreed.
Seeing that the owner agreed so readily, the antique dealer felt that he had suffered a loss: he should not pay 600 yuan at all, maybe 400 yuan would be enough! But he can't go back on it yet, for fear that the other party will see the flaw.
Come. So he didn't give up and pondered around the front and back of the house. What a coincidence, he actually found a dirty mahogany chair, and he said to his master:
This cabinet is so broken that it can't be repaired when it comes back, so it can only be used as firewood. The mountain man murmured, "Why don't you ask for it?"
The antique dealer waved his hand generously: "If you say it, how can you swallow it back casually?" Well, you can give me that chair too!"
I'll come tomorrow morning to get this firewood. ”
Day 2 1, think about the text, "So I didn't give up and pondered around the front and back of the house." "What is this antique dealer thinking? Please write about it.
The antique dealer thought: "It's so easy to talk, I would have paid less money if I knew it, hey, let's see if there are any other good things, and extort a few pieces back by the way."
The next day, the antique dealer returned, and what awaited him was indeed a pile of rotten wood.

Hey, I was so stupid just now, I can have a deal for 400 yuan, forget it, let's see what other good things are.

Look at any of the valuable antiques and get a few more.

1. The antique dealer thought: I'll see if there are any other valuable things that can be bought at a low price.
2. The next day, the antique dealer drove to load the cabinets and chairs in the morning, and when he walked to the door and saw a large pile of firewood, he said to the mountain people: "The firewood has blocked the door, and I can't move the cabinet anymore, so you move it." The mountain man smiled and said
I'm afraid that it won't be easy for you to pull it back, so I'll split it for you first and put it at the door, and you can use it just by moving it back. The antique dealer froze......

2. The next day, the antique dealer came to the house to pick up the goods, but it was too late, and the cabinets and chairs were turned into bundles of firewood. The merchant sighed and said, "I shouldn't be so greedy!" ”

Of course, greed is not good, and the Buddhists say that they should quit "greed and hatred"! And put "greed" in the first place.
This afternoon, Erbao was playing in the yard after school, and his daughter-in-law was also washing clothes in the yard.
I was bored alone in the house, so I went out into the yard.
I didn't expect it to be six o'clock in the afternoon, and the yard was still relatively bright, and the bright light was exciting.
So, I took a stool and put it in the yard and wanted to write an article here. After writing, take a walk in the yard.
However, after not long after I sat down, a large mosquito suddenly lay on my arm.
Mosquito bites are generally difficult for people to spot.
Of course, by the time you notice an itch or pain, the mosquitoes have already flown away!
But now the mosquito is too greedy!
I forgot to inject anesthetic, and when I came up, I sucked blood violently.
It hurts immediately!
So a slap down!
The greedy mosquitoes paid the price!
Not only can people not be greedy!
Mosquitoes don't bother the bridge!
