The ghost wardens then escorted the man to the pot of boiling oil, and when they arrived, he looked at the pot and said, "Hey! Wait a minute! There's so much oil in it. What a waste! Please drain out the oil, sell it and give me the money. Then, you can simply dump me in a pot of boiling water! There's no need for oil. You're using too much oil to cook one person anyway!"
有一個(gè)人很吝嗇,叫吝嗇鬼,他死了以后下地獄,閻羅王罵他說(shuō):“你這個(gè)吝嗇鬼,在塵間的時(shí)候什么東西都抓很緊不放,什么人都不給,看到貧窮、痛苦的人也不幫助,父母、親戚、朋友也沒(méi)有照顧好,讓他們都挨餓受苦,你這種兇惡的業(yè)障,應(yīng)該被放入滾開(kāi)的油鍋里面。”
鬼差就帶他到滾得很熱、很燙的油鍋那邊,吝嗇鬼一看就說(shuō):“喔,等一下、慢一下!油那么多,怎么那么浪費(fèi)呢?你們先把這些油倒出來(lái),賣(mài)出去后把錢(qián)給我,然后丟我在熱燙的水里就可以了!何必用油,而且還用那么多油!”
