 \nThat evening,after work,Yu Po walked to SunMing's house.As usual,the rich man was countinghis gold coins.He heard a knock on the door.  \n\"Who's there?\"Sun Ming cried.  \n\"It's Yu Po,\"the potter said.  \n“Go away!\"the rich man shouted.“I'm notgiving away any money!\"  \n\"I am not here for money,\"Yu Po said.  \n\"Well,I don't wish to buy any pottery either,\"Sun Ming shouted.\"Go away!\"  \n\"I am not here to sell,\"said Yu Po.  \nSun Ming opened the door a crack.  \n“Then why are you here?”he asked.  \nYu Po smiled.\"A guest is coming to my hometomorrow,\"he said.\"I want to serve him tea in a finecup.But I have none.I hear that you own a big,beautiful teacup.Would you lend it to me?\"  \nSun Ming laughed.\"Lend you my fine teacup?No!\"He began to shut the door.  \n\"I promise to take good care of it,\"Yu Pobegged,\"I will pay much money if it is harmed.\"  \nSun Ming heard the words“much money.\"“Youmay borrow my fine teacup,\"he said.\"But you mustreturn it tomorrow night.Or you will pay muchmoney!\"  \nYu Po took the big,beautiful cup home.  \nThe next day,Yu Po woke up very early.He  \nplaced the beautiful cup on his work table.He lookedat it for a long time.It was pale green.A traditionalChinese dragon was painted on the cup.  \nAt last,Yu Po went to work.He searched thelarge tin cylinders that held his tools.He chose aknife and a small chisel.Then he took some whiteclay and began to shape it.  \nYu Po made a tiny,green teacup.It looked justlike Sun Ming's cup,only smaller.  \nThen Yu Po made two more tiny cups,just likethe first.He painted dragons,just like the dragon onthe large cup.Finally,he baked the cups in the kiln.  \nAt last the cups were ready.Yu Po wrapped eachone and put it in a sack.He put Sun Ming's largeteacup in the sack,too.  \nNo guest ever arrived at the potter's home for teathat day.You see,this was all part of Yu Po's plan toget rich!  \nThat night,Yu Po took the sack to Sun Ming'shouse.The rich man was already waiting outside.
