3. Don’t be greedy for his fine foods,because that food might be a trick.

4. Don’t wear yourself out trying to get rich;be wise enough to control yourself.

5. Wealth can vanish in the wink of an eye.It can seem to grow wingsand fly away like an eagle.

6. Don’t eat the food of selfish people;don’t be greedy for their fine foods.

7. Selfish people are always worryingabout how much the food costs.They tell you, “Eat and drink,”but they don’t really mean it.
