A woman was walking down the street when a female beggar (女乞丐) came to her and asked for some money. The lady took a 50-yuan note out of her wallet and asked, "If I give you this money, will you spend it on chocolate?
"Don't be so crazy!" the beggar replied. "Does it look like I have nothing better to spend money on?"
"What about shopping?" the lady asked.
"No," the beggar said, "don't you understand I need money just to stay alive?"
"Will you spend it on your hair?" the lady asked.
The beggar replied furiously, "No, I just need money for food and a place to live. Please don't give me such a hard time!"
"Well, if so," the lady said, "I would like you to eat dinner with me and my husband tonight""
"Why?" the beggar asked.
"Well," the lady said, "My husband always complains(抱怨). I think it's important for him to see what a lady looks like after she gives up chocolate, shopping, and hair style."
