chickpea Posted February 1, 2009 at 08:55 PM Report Share Posted February 1, 2009 at 08:55 PM Hi folks! I hope you can help me. For a long time I'm looking for a chengyu and can only remeber the story roughly. it's about a man who constantly loses something but he keeps saying- who knows what it is good for and in the end he gets something more worthy than all the things he lost. thanks! I hope you can help me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
