A man carved a wooden statue of the god Hermes and carried it to the market to offer it for sale. But no buyer came along. So the man took it into his head to attract a buyer by crying out that he was selling a god who would provide both goods and profits. A passer by heard this and said to him:有人雕了一座赫尔墨斯神的木像，拿到市场上兜售。由于找不到买主，那人为招揽顾客，灵机一动，便大声吆喝起来，说他卖的神像能招财进宝。一个过路人听到了吆喝声，对他说道：
‘Ha! Well, friend, if he is so beneficent, why are you selling him instead of making use of his help yourself?’“哈！我的朋友，这神要是像你说的那样灵验，何不留着自个儿享用他给你的好处，偏偏要把他卖了呢？”
The merchant replied:卖神像的人回答说：
‘Oh, it isn’t that. It’s just that I need ready cash and the god is never in a hurry to render his services.’“唉，我这么做也是迫于无奈。我要的是马上到手的现钱，而神总是慢腾腾地给人带来财运。”
This fable relates to base, self seeking men who are not sustained by the gods.这则寓言适用于追逐私利之徒，此类人往往为神祗所弃。
