在古代，一个小村庄里住着一位名叫小明的少年。小明从小在村子里长大，没有机会接触外面的世界。他天真善良，涉世未深，对社会上的复杂关系一无所知。一天，小明到城里去玩，遇到了一位老骗子，老骗子见小明涉世未深，便故意接近他，编造各种谎言，骗取了小明的钱财。小明回到村里后，将自己的遭遇告诉了村民，村民们这才知道小明涉世未深，被骗了钱财。从那以后，村民们都告诫小明，要多出去走走，多看看外面的世界，才能避免被骗。

In ancient times, there was a young man named Xiaoming living in a small village. Xiaoming grew up in his village and had no opportunity to experience the world outside.

The old swindler saw that Xiaoming was inexperienced and approached him deliberately. He made up various lies and cheated Xiaoming out of his money.
