John is an artist who does not have much money, but he is a very kind man. One day on his way home, he gave his last coins to a beggar(乞丐). When he saw another one, he forgot that he did not have any money. He asked the man to have lunch with him, and the beggar accepted, so they went into a small restaurant and had a good meal.

After the meal, John found he had no money at all. The beggar had to pay the bill(账单).The artist was so sorry about this, so he said to the beggar, "Come home with me in a taxi, my friend, and l will give you the money for lunch."

"Oh, no!" the beggar answered quickly. "I had to pay for your lunch, but I'm not going to pay for you again!"
