How can you afford it? " Shook his head again. Drowned. I mourn it. And if so, do you have to drown the big goods to protect yourself? So I wrote "mourning".

Yongzhou people are good at swimming. One day, the river suddenly rose so badly that five or six people crossed the Xiangjiang River by boat. The boat crossed the middle of the river and broke, so everyone swam to escape. One of them can't swim far with all his strength. His companion said, "You usually swim best, why are you behind now?" (He replied): "I have a lot of money tied around my waist, which is too heavy, so I am behind." The companion said, "Why not throw it away?" He didn't answer, just shook his head. After a while, he was more tired. The man who had swam to the shore shouted to him, "You are stupid to the extreme, ignorant to the extreme, and you are drowning.". How can you spend money? " The man shook his head again and drowned. I feel sorry for that. If everyone does this, won't more people drown because of huge funds? So I wrote the article "Mourning".
