Mr. A-rung was a host of Matsu Temple　and a pious follower of the Goddess Matsu. Everyone who came to pay their respects at the temple knew that there was a magic cracked hole in the temple’s cave that spilled rice. A-rung kept telling everyone happily, “This cracked hole always spills just enough rice to feed all who come to pay their respects. This must be a blessing from the Goddess Matsu, how amazing!”

One day, A-rung took in a beggar and allowed him to live in the temple. The beggar was very curious about the cracked hole in the cave. So, he told A-rung, “If you sell the rice that spills out of the cracked hole, you will surely make lots of money. If we make the cracked hole bigger, more rice will spill out. Then, we can open a rice shop and get rich!”A-rung replied hesitantly, “I have thought of this before, but the rice is Goddess Matsu’s blessing to all who come to pay their respects. There is just enough for everyone, and I am quite content.”But the beggar would not give up.

After a few days, A-rung and the beggar brought two buckets and a chisel and stood in front of the cracked hole. The beggar said, “Let’s begin! I will make the cracked hole bigger, and you can catch the rice that spills out. Make sure you catch all of it.”Sadly, A-rung agreed to the beggar’s plan. The rice spilled out and filled the buckets. Seeing this, the beggar shouted happily, “Yes! We’re going to be rich!”Instead of sharing all the rice with everyone, they kept some and sold it in the market.

The next day, A-rung brought the buckets to the cracked hole again. But no rice came out.“That’s strange, ” he said.“The Goddess isn’t here today! The buckets are still empty!”After the cracked hole was made larger, rice stopped spilling from the cracked hole. The truth was that the rice was donated by a wealthy man in town. After learning of A-rung and the beggar’s greedy actions, he stopped donating rice.

　　阿榮伯是媽祖廟的住持也是一位虔誠的信徒，來往參拜的民眾都知道仙洞的石縫中會流出豐碩的白米，阿榮伯總是高興地對大家說：「這個石縫不管前來參拜的信徒有多少，一定會流出夠所有人食用的白米，這一定是媽祖賜給大家的，真是太神奇了！」
　　有一天，阿榮伯收留一位可憐的乞丐住在廟裡，乞丐對於白米會從石縫中流出來非常好奇，就對阿榮伯說：「如果把每天流出來的白米拿去賣，一定能賺很多錢；或者，我們把石縫挖大一點，就會流出更多的白米，到時候我們就可以開一間米行了，賺大錢是絕對沒問題的。」阿榮伯猶豫後說：「我曾經也想過這個問題，但是我覺得這一定是媽祖在庇佑大家，而且每次流出的米不多也不少，大家都分得到，這樣我就滿足了。」但是，乞丐仍然不放棄的遊說。
　　隔了幾天之後，阿榮伯和乞丐帶著兩個大水桶和鑿子來到石縫前，乞丐說：「開始行動吧！我負責把洞挖大，你負責裝米，小心點兒不要漏了。」阿榮伯竟然聽了乞丐的話，要將石縫挖大。當白米快溢出水桶時，乞丐興奮地大喊：「發財囉！我們要發財了。」兩人便將一部份的白米分給信徒，剩下的拿到市場賣。
　　第二天阿榮伯又帶著水桶來裝米，但是等了好久，他忍不住說：「奇怪！媽祖今天不靈驗啦！水桶裡什麼東西都沒有！」自從石縫被挖大後，一粒米也流不出來。原來石縫中流出的白米，是鎮上一位富翁捐贈的，他知道阿榮伯和乞丐貪心的行為後，就停止奉獻白米了。
