One year, there was a serious famine in the State of Qi.
A rich man named Qian Ao set up a stall with lots of porridge, waiting for hungry people to have.
After a while, a ravenous (starving) man in shabby clothes walked over powerlessly. When Qian Ao saw this, he shouted: “Hey. Come here! There is enough food for you!”
The man raised his head suddenly, with his eyes wide and said angrily: “I am so hungry just because I don't want to take this kind of hand-out food! I don’t need it at all!”
As soon as Qian Ao heard this, he realized that his attitude was bad and apologized to that man immediately.
But eventually the man starved to death because he was unwilling to take any porridge.
故事梗概：
齐国大饥荒。有个人叫黔敖，他煮了一大锅粥，摆在大路边上，救济挨饿的人。有一个人饿得有气没力，跌跌撞撞地从大路那头走过来。黔敖看见了就大声吆喝说：“嗨，到这儿来！我让你吃个饱！”
那个人抬起头来，瞪着眼睛对黔敖说：“你吆喝什么！我就不吃那些吆喝别人的人的东西，所以饿成这样了！我才不吃你的东西哪！”黔敖才觉得自己的态度不好，赶忙道歉。可是那个人怎么说也不肯吃，终于饿死了。
