T'ao seemed to be very poor,and ate his meals at Ma's house every day.One day,he said to Ma,"You are not rich,either.Let's sell some chrysanthemums and make a living out of it."Ma disdained money so much that he replied sulkily,"Aren't your words an insult to the chrysanthemums?" T'ao smiled,"It is not greedy to earn one's bread.It is not vulgar to sell flowers for a living.Though one should not prostitute himself to get rich,why choose proverty?"After that day,T'ao no longer dined with Ma.
