there was once a boatman who earned his living by transporting passengers from one side of the riverbank to the other.

one particular day, while he was resting, a businessman came and asked impolitely,“transport me to the opposite side of the river.”
有一天,他正在休息时,一个商人过来很不客气地说:“把我送到对岸去!”
“yes, please come aboard,”answered the boatman.

“how much do you charge for the trip?”asked the businessman.
“摆渡费是多少?”商人说。
“eight coins each way,”answered the boatman.
