When the master of the house heard him complain, he added some salt to the dish. The fool found the food now quite delicious.

Rather than tasting delicious. The salt spoiled his appetite. 从前有一个愚人,他去别人家去做客。
主人端出食物来招待他,他嫌淡而无味。主人听了,便给他添了一点 盐。
愚人尝过了加过盐之后的美味食物,于是暗自忖度:“味道之所以这 么美,是因为有盐的缘故。这么一点点盐尚且如此,如果有很多盐,味道岂不是 更美”愚人没有知识,便去单独吃盐。结果胃口败坏,反而受了苦楚。
