" A man was walking on the street when he accidentally found a pair of ivory chopsticks. He was very happy about this because the chopsticks were beautifully crafted and looked much more stately than those wooden chopsticks. The man used the chopsticks to eat his food everyday ever since and felt very pleased. Then, one day he started to feel that the bowls he was using was out of the league with the chopsticks. So he went out and bought a top notch set of china dinnerware to pair the chopsticks with. But soon it occured to him that his humble dining table was pale by comparison with the dinnerwares and chopsticks. Hence, he went out again to buy a stylish dining table of the best quality in the market so that all things could goes well with his delicate dinnerwares. Still not satisfied, the man renovated his house soon after to make it looks nice with all his dinnerware collection. But the sequence stop shortly afterwards: the man was kicked out from his deluxe house. He was stony broke now because he was paying all these extravagance by loans after loans. Feeling very depressed, he sat by the side of the road and sighed: "My life is all screwed up because of a pair of ivory chopsticks." " ~Tr. CXB 象牙筷子 有天有個人在街上撿到一雙象牙筷子，自然是高興不已，這象牙筷子作工精細，材質遠比木筷子高級許多，這人每天高興著用它來吃飯，心情自然很好。過了一陣子， 他就覺得他用的碗跟這筷子實在不配，所以就去買了一套精緻的碗盤餐具來配合這筷子，看來就搭配許多。 又過了不久，他又覺得桌子跟這精緻的碗盤和筷子不配， 所以又花大錢買了張豪華檜木餐桌，來跟這精緻的餐具搭配。又過了不久，他又把房子整個翻修裝潢，來配合之前買的這些東西，在大舉支債之後，他就破產了，被 人給趕出這豪華新屋，於是他坐在路邊感嘆：「都是為了一把象牙筷子呀。」
