I myself own a flower, which I water every day. I own three volcanoes, which I clean out every week (for I also clean out the one that is extinct, one never knows). It is of some use to my volcanoes, and it is of some use to my flower, that I own them. But you are of no use to the stars…
我自己有一朵花，且每天浇灌它；我还有三座火山，并每周打扫它（我也打扫死火山，尽管没人知道这件事）。我拥有它们，做有益于我的火山、花的事情，但是你对你的星星毫无用处。
（我们每天想着如何赚钱存钱，努力得到很多很多，但，我们是否考虑过我们的付出是否值得，我们做的事情是否有益于社会或他人……）
