A nobleman and businessman once met in a restaurant For their lunch they ordered soup(汤). When it was brought to table, the nobleman took a taste, but the soup was so hot that he burned his mouth, and tears came to his eyes. Seeing this, the businessman asked him why he was weeping(哭)。 The nobleman felt ashamed(羞愧) to admit(承认)that he had burned his mouth and answered, "Sir, I was thinking of my friend's death, which made me weep.
The businessman, believing the story, began to eat his soup. He too, burned his mouth, and he had tears in his eyes At this time the nobleman asked him "Sir, why do you weep? " The man, who realized that the nobleman had cheated, answered: "Ah, I am weeping because you didn't go together with your friend."
