【明報專訊】John was an extremely rich man who led a lavish lifestyle. But he was also a miser. Whenever a beggar came to him and asked for a few coins, he always shook his head and just went away. Ironically, he was extravagant (揮霍的) with food and water. A faddy eater pretending to be a food snob (食家), he demanded his cook prepare all kinds of food. When he couldn't finish them, he dumped them.
