Chapter 101 chapter Five

How Paiguguay hated debtors and creditors "I see," continued Paiguguet, "that you are very good at explaining your reasons. But tell it as you please, from now until Pentecost, and then you will be ashamed of the fact that you have nothing to say." I am amazed, you can say as much as you want, and you can never make me owe anyone a debt. The saint ① said it well: "You can't owe anyone, but love each other" ②. "I love to hear your beautiful words and pictures; but I tell you, if you could imagine such a brazen borrower in a city that already knew what he said and did, you would see I think that when he entered the city, the inhabitants were more panic-stricken than the plague that the philosopher of Tyana saw at Ephesus. , it is not wrong to say that lying is a second vice, because debt and lying are usually related.

"I am not saying that one should never owe anything, nor should one lend anything. No matter how rich one is, one will be in debt sometimes. No matter how poor one is, one will sometimes be borrowed from him. Plato in his "Laws" Such occasions are illustrated in "He taught that neighbors are not allowed to dig unless they have first dug in their own ground, and have not dug to a place called clay (that is, clay) from which a spring can be found and water can flow. Come out to draw water. Because the ground is fertile, tough, solid, and concentrated, the moisture in the ground will be kept, and it is not easy to dig out water.

"Therefore, it is a great disgrace for a person to borrow money from others without first working hard and earning money, no matter when or where. I mean, only when a laborer has done his best He should only be lent to him when he has not obtained results through his abilities, or when he has lost his property not on purpose but occasionally. "So, let's stop here. From now on, you are not allowed to have anything to do with creditors; I will take care of the past for you." Banuge said: "For this matter, the most insignificant thing I can express is to express my gratitude to you. If my gratitude can be compared with the friendship of the benefactor, then my gratitude will be boundless and eternal. .Because Your Highness's love for me is really inestimable; it exceeds all weights, all numbers, and all methods of measurement. It cannot be measured in size, nor can it be measured in length. Measure it with the measure of favor, and estimate it with the satisfaction of the beneficiary , are not enough. You have done me far more good than I should accept, far more than I have served you, far more than I am worth, I can't admit it honestly. But you can't yet imagine that I am the mood of the matter.

"What makes me sad, what I can't get rid of, what I can't think about is not here, but in the future, when the debts are all gone, what will I be like? Please believe that I must be very happy in the first few months." Unnatural, because I have never had this habit. I am worried about this." "What's more, in the future, people from Salmigondan will fart on my nose. All the people who fart will say when they fart, 'Got it!' I must not live long, I have already I can see it. I ask you to write the epitaph for me. I will definitely be killed by farts. If one day, a woman with too much fart in her stomach can’t fart, and ordinary medicine can’t satisfy the doctor, I will be killed The fart collapsed ① refers to St. Paul.

② See Chapter 13, Section 8 of Romans. ③ The philosopher of Tiana refers to Apollonius. ④ Ephesus: The name of the ancient city of Ionia, near the Aegean Sea, where there is the Temple of Diana, one of the seven wonders of the world. ⑤ It is said that Apollonius entered the city of Ephesus, saw the plague turned into a human form, and summoned the citizens to kill it with stones, and the plague turned into a mad dog, as big as a lion.For the story, see Chapter Four of The Life of Apollonius by Philostratus. The mummy is a ready-made medicine for the symptoms.No matter how little they ate, they would fart continuously to a degree that doctors had never heard of.

"Leave me, I beseech you, hundreds of debts, which the bishop begged the king to leave to him when King Louis XI wanted to settle the case of the bishop of Chartres, Mir-Dirier. A few, to train their brains. I'd rather give them the snail's income, as well as the beetle's income, as long as I don't discharge my debts." Paiguguay said: "Let's not talk about this, I have already said it, and I cannot go back on my word." ① Louis XI: King of France from 1461 to 1483. ② Chartres: Earl? Royal province capital. ③ Mir Dirrier: In 1459, Bishop of Chartres, it is said that there were a million complaints against him. The king wanted to clear it up for him at once. Can do.
