Classical Chinese Humorous Short Stories: Original Text, Translation and Central Idea

Hello,

Here's one

There are two measures to talk about ambition. A cloud said, "I have been short of food and sleep all my life, and I will achieve something in the future." I should eat when I am full, sleep when I eat, and eat when I sleep. " A cloud said, "I am different. I can't sleep after eating! "

Translation:

There are two poor scholars talking about their life ambitions. One said, "All I need in my life is food and sleep. In the future, when I am developed, I must eat and sleep, and I will eat when I wake up. " The other said, "I was thinking differently from you. Oh, I think I should eat after I'm full. How can I have time to sleep? "

I hope I can help you ~
