When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coppers. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being 76 with the sound of a whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one. I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but 77 all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the 78 I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my folly that I cried with vexation(烦恼). Thinking about the matter gave me more 79 than the whistle gave me pleasure.
80 , this was afterwards of use to me, for the impression continued on my mind, so that often, when I was 81 to buy something I did not need, I said to myself, “Don’t give too much for the whistle, ” and I saved my money. As I grew up, came into the world, and 82 the actions of men, I thought I met with many, very many, who “gave too much for the whistle.”
If I knew a miser(守财奴)who 83 every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens and the joys of friendship, 84 gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but 85 devoted himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “ Mistaken man, you are providing 86 for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone fond of 87 who has fine clothes, fine houses, fine furniture, fine earrings, all above his 88 , and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.” 89 , the miseries of mankind are largely due to their puffing a(n) 90 value on things --- to giving “too much for their whistle.”
