Once there lived and old man. He often said，“If I have plenty of gold，I shall be the happiest man in the world.”
One day when he was traveling in the desert，he lost his way. He was very hungry and thirsty，but there were only stones and sand around him . Just then he found a bag lying on the sand. He hoped he would find water and food in it. He took up the bag and opened it. He saw that bag was full of gold. He was so disappointed that he threw away the bag and began crying.
Now，he knew that there was something better than gold in the world.
