一名妇女发现三位蓄着花白胡子的老者坐在家门口。她不认识他们,就说:“我不知道你们是什么人,但各位也许饿了,请进来吃些东西吧。”三位老者问道:“男主人在家吗?”她回答:“不在,他出去了。”老者们答到:“那我们不能进去。”傍晚时分,妻子在丈夫到家后向他讲述了所发生的事。丈夫说:“快去告诉他们我在家,请他们进来。” A woman found three old men with white beard sitting at their doorsteps. She did not know them and said: “I do not know who you are, but you may be hungry, come in and eat.” The three old men asked, “Is the man at home?” She answered : “No, he went out.” The old men replied: “Then we can not go in.” In the late afternoon, his wife told him about what happened after her husband came home. Husband said: “Go and tell them I’m home and ask them to come in.”
