A cobbler passed his time in singing from morning till night, it was wonderful to see, wonderful to hear him. He was more contented in making shoes, than was any of the seven sages. His neighbor, on the contrary, who was rolling in wealth, sung but little, and slept less. He was a banker, when by chance he fell into a doze at day-break, the cobbler awoke him with his song. Having at length sent for the songster, he said to him, "How much a year do you earn, Master Gregory?" 　　"I never reckon in that way, living as I do from one day to another; somehow I manage to reach the end of the year; each day brings its meal. But the worst of it is, a number of days occur in the year on which we are forbidden to work; without that our earnings would be very tolerable, and the curate, moreover, is constantly adding some new saint to the list." said the merry cobbler.
一個皮匠從早到晚在唱歌中度過。無論見到他本人或聽見他的歌聲都使人覺得很愉快。比起當希臘七圣，做鞋更讓他感到滿足。與此相反，他的鄰居是個銀行家，擁有萬貫家財，卻很少唱歌，晚上也睡得不好。有時，他在黎明時分迷迷糊糊剛入睡，皮匠的歌聲便把他吵醒了。后來，銀行家就叫人把這位皮匠歌手請來，問道：“格列戈里師傅，你一年賺多少錢？” 快樂的皮匠笑說道：“我從來不算這筆賬，我是一天一天地過日子，不管怎樣，我會堅持到年底，每天掙足三餐。不過最糟糕的是，一年中總有些日子不準我們做買賣，否則我們的收入也還算不錯的。而牧師又常常在圣徒名單上添新名字(有時又有些意外收入)。”
