The Lotus Sutra Chapter IV Willing Acceptance

When he heard this

The impoverished son was overjoyed

And returned to sweep dung and clean houses.

窮子聞之，歡喜隨來，為除糞穢，淨諸房舍。

窮子一聽，便高高興興地同他們來了，從此，就在其父家中幹起了清除糞便、打掃房舍等肮髒而低賤的工作。

The wealthy man

Constantly watched his son

Through the window and thought

That his son was foolish

And willingly did menial things.

長者於牖，常見其子，念子愚劣，樂為鄙事。

此後，長者時常從窗戶之中看見自己的兒子，心想自己的兒子真是愚癡低俗，竟然隻喜歡幹這種卑微的工作。

Excerpted from chapter ten of The Lotus Sutra
