Many people seek fame and wealth.
許多人都會追求名與利。

古爾·穆罕默德則兩者皆不求。
However, through fate he is famous.
然而通過命運的安排使得他很出名。
He is so short that he is recorded in the Guinness Book of Records as the shortest man in the world.
他長得非常矮小，因而被古尼斯世界紀大全列為世界上最矮的男人。
He measures only 57 centimeters.
他只有五十七公分高。
Though he has fame, he is not rich.
雖然他是個名人，可是他并不富有。
In fact, he's too poor to pay his own medical bills.
事實上，他得連自己的醫藥費都付不起。
Recently, when Gul became so ill that he had to be brought to the hospital, he didn't have enough money for the medicine.
最近，當古爾病重到要被送到醫院時，他連付藥費的錢都沒有。
What a pitiful man he is!
他是一個可憐的人！
His story tells us that fame and wealth do not always go hand in hand.
他的故事背訴我們，名與利并非永遠都是相隨相生的。
Indeed, Gul is a living example of the saying, "All that glitters is not gold."
俗話說：“閃光的東西未必都是黃金。”古爾就是這個俗語的活見證。
