Idiom story

There was a child whose family was very poor, but he was very filial to his mother. LV Dongbin sympathized with him so much that he gave it to the child by lighting stones with his fingers. The child shook his head and said, "I don't want gold." Lu Dongbin asked in surprise, "what do you want?" The child said, "I want your finger, because the gold you gave me will run out, but with your finger, when there is no money, you can turn stone into gold!"
