"My money has finished and my friends have gone,"said the young man."What will happen to me now?"
"Don't worry ,young man,"answered Nasreddin."Everything will soon be all right again.Wait ,and you will soon feel much happier."
The young man was very glad."Am I going to get rich again then?" heasked Nasreddin.
"No,I didn't mean that," said the old man."I meant that you would soon get used to being poor and to having no friends."一个老人死后,留给他的儿子很多钱.但是他的儿子是个愚蠢的年轻人,而且他很快的花光了所有的钱,所以他什么都没有了.当然,这些发生后,所有的朋友都离开了他.当他穷且孤独的时候,他去看了Nasreddin(人名,下同),是一个聪明的老人而且经常帮助那些遇到问题的人们.
"我的钱用完了,并且我的朋友都离开了我,"年轻人说,:"我现在该怎么办?"
"别担心,年轻人."Nasreddin说道."任何事情都会再次好起来的.等待,然后你将会不久后感到很快乐."
年轻人很开心,"我会再次变的富裕么?"他问Nasreddin.
"不,我不是这个意思."老人说,"我是说你将会习惯穷困和没有朋友."
