The translation of the classical Chinese text "Money Puts Goods in the Bottle" is as follows:
There was a beggar in Yangzhou named Hu Meier. He had a bottle and said to others: "If this bottle is filled with charity money, you will be happy forever!" The bystanders saw that the bottle could only hold half a liter, so someone put ten cents or a hundred cents in it. However, the bottle was not full, and people wondered about this.
A rich man passed by and put a thousand coins in the bottle, but the bottle was still not full. A man who liked novelty led a donkey and said, "Give me a donkey." The beggar nodded, and the donkey then turned into a rope and entered the bottle. Everyone in the market was surprised. At this time, a truck passed by. When the owner of the truck heard about this, he joked: "Can my trucks also enter the bottle?"
The beggar said: "Yes." The beggar said Turn the bottle mouth slightly to one side and push the trucks into the bottle one by one. The owner was shocked and wanted to grab the beggar, but the beggar had already sneaked into the bottle. The owner smashed the bottle and found nothing.
