a single bamboo dish of rice and a single gourd dish of drink—live a poor and simple life ? 一簞食，一瓢飲，在陋巷，人不堪其憂，回也不改其樂。(《論語·雍也》) With a single bamboo dish of rice,a single gourd dish of drink,and living in his mean narrow lane,while others could not have endured the distress,he did not allow his joy to be affected by it.
