The story of a thief and a scholar

There was a scholar whose family was rich, but his parents died young. He is the only one who stays at home. Having studied for several years, he goes to the pub to drink and write poems every day. He was lazy, and his family savings soon ran out. But he loved face and was afraid of being looked down upon, so he boasted about how rich his family was, which happened to be heard by local thieves. In the evening, the thief stole from the scholar's house, only to find that there was only one bed in his house. Inadvertently awakened the scholar, the thief started to run, and the scholar chased him out. After a while, the thief couldn't run any longer and was caught up by the scholar. Anyway, he stopped without taking anything and said to the scholar, "I didn't take anything ... don't chase me ...". The scholar also said, "I can't run." The scholar took a bag out of his pocket and said, "Please take this money. If it's not enough, I'll make it up another day. I just want to ask my big brother a favor. Don't say that my family is poor. " .......

When I heard this, everyone thought it was ridiculous. Noodles can't be eaten as food. Why do scholars want to save face? In reality, many people are no different from scholars. They are just like scholars, sometimes they are thick-skinned and don't get angry when they encounter setbacks. Finally, they did their best.
