The old man who picks up dung founds a beautiful silk belt in the field. No one claims it so he ties it around his waist. The old man thinks his old padded jacket is not good enough for the belt, and uses his savings for a high quality robe. But the trousers and shoes don't match the outfit, causing others to laugh at him. The old man couldn't stand the humiliation of the waiter, so he returned home without saying anything, smashed the piggy bank, and went to buy matching pants and boots. Now, passers-by, including the waiter, looked at him with envy, and the old man felt proud for a moment. But if the old man who picks up dung is dressed like this, how can he pick up dung again?
