He wrote a book to teach his children. This

In this book, (Yan Zi tui) records a true
story.
There is a famous scholar in a big city.
The scholar felt that his knowledge was
very rich, so he was very proud.
One day, the scholar went to the market. He
wants to buy a donkey.
After the scholar had negotiated the price
with the donkey merchant, the scholar asked the donkey merchant to write a
sales contract to him.
The merchant selling donkeys is illiterate,
so the scholar had to write it himself.
The scholar wrote this contract of sale
very carefully.
After the scholar wrote the contract, the
merchant who sold the donkey asked the scholar to read it to him.
At this time, many passers-by in the market
also came to watch.
After listening to the scholar reading the
sale contract, the merchant selling the donkey asked the scholar with
confusion, why did I not hear the word donkey in the entire sale contract you
read.
The donkey merchant went on to say that my
knowledge is not as rich as yours.
But I think as long as you write today's
date, and then write that the two of us agreed to trade the donkey and the
amount of the transaction. Isn't this a very simple matter?
At this time all the onlookers laughed.
Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts
do you have after listening to this story?
Have you ever made the same mistake as this
scholar? How do you avoid your own pride? How do you keep your humility?
I hope this story will help you generate
some new gains.

他為了教導自己的孩子寫了一本書。這本書也影響了許多中國人。
在這本書中，(顏之推)記載了一個真實發生的故事。
一座大城市中，有一個著名的學者。
這位學者自已覺得自已的知識很豐富，因此他很驕傲。
有一天，這位學者他去市集。他想要買一頭驢子。
這個學者跟賣驢子的商人兩個人講好價格後，這個學者要求賣驢子的商人寫一份買賣合約給他。
賣驢子的商人不識字，所以這位學者只好自己寫。
這個學者很用心的寫這份買賣合同。
這個學者寫完這份買賣合同之後，賣驢子的商人便請這位學者念給他聽。
這時候、市場上很多路人也過來圍觀。
聽完這名學者朗讀完這一份買賣合同後，賣驢子的商人很疑惑地問這名學者，為何我聽完你念的整份買賣合同中，都沒有聽到驢子這個字呢。
賣驢的商人接著說，我的知識沒有你豐富。
但是我認為只要寫上今天的日期，然後寫我們兩個人同意交易的物品是驢子、還有交易的金額。這不是一件很簡單的事情嗎。
這時候所有圍觀的人都笑了。
親愛的朋友，你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。
你是否有過像這位學者一樣的錯誤呢?你如何避免自已的驕傲?你如何保持自已的謙卑呢?
希望這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
