Let me tell you a little secret about me.

Let me tell you a story

Let me tell you a story. One day I met a beautiful girl and she asked for my number. I didn't give it to her because I thought I was too poor to have a girlfriend.
我给你讲个故事吧。有一天我遇见了一个漂亮的姑娘。她管我要电话号码。我没有给她。因为我觉得我太穷了以致于没法找女朋友。

The next day I see her walking hand in hand with a bum. So sometimes you don't know what people value in you.
但第二天我就看见她跟一个流浪汉手牵手走在路上。所以呢，有时候你都不知道别人看重的是你的什么。
