中国传统民间故事：东郭敞的许多愿望

Dong guochang, a person of the state Qi, had always dreamt to be a millionaire, and planned how to spend the imaginary money.

One of his students wanted to borrow some money from him because he could barely make a living. Not only did Dong Guochang refused him, but also he told his student, "I am going to use this money to buy a position in the government, so that I can bring glory to my family. So I cannot lend you the money."

Angered by his word, the student left him in a pet and went to state Song.

齐人东郭敞一直梦想拥有万贯家财，并时时计划如何花掉这些未来的还没到手的钱。

他的一个学生因生活困难，想请老师周济一下，借他两个钱用用，东郭敞不但不答应，而且还认真地说：“我正准备用这些计划中的钱去买个官儿来做，以便光耀门庭，钱不能借给你。”

学生听后，大为愤怒，一气之下，便离开他，投奔齐国去了。
