沒錢的時候... When without money

Just received the following Chinese Philosophy from an email.

I think it can be used in teaching and learning Chinese, as many words and characters are repeated, with some punch line in between and make reading and memorizing easy:

沒錢的時候,養豬;
錢的時候,養

When without money, keep pigs;
When have money, keep dogs.

沒錢的時候,在家裡吃野菜;
錢的時候,在酒店吃野菜。

When without money, eat wild vegetables at home ;
When have money, eat same wild vegetables in fine restaurant.
