Chapter 44

Yuh Name ar yuh Life

名与身孰亲?身与货孰多?得与亡孰病?
是故甚爱必大费,多藏必厚亡。
知足不辱,知止不殆,可以长久。
Yuh name ar yuh life, wey mor yaad tu? Yuh life ar yuh riches, wey bigga? Wan sey wah yu get ar wah yu los, wey mek yu mor sik? Fram se so: huan luv mek yu SPEN big, huan gistin mek yu LOS big. Waip sey yu av enuf, yu noh noh shame; waip sey yu know weh fi STOP, yu noh noh danger — an dat a wa mek life lang las.
