[Story]
Once upon a time, there was a man named Jack who had a million dollars. He decided to add it to his total wealth, which was already twice that amount. However, he soon realized that he needed to reduce his expenses by dividing the total by 2. This left him with half of his wealth, which was still a substantial sum. Jack then decided to double his savings, bringing his total wealth back up to a dozen times what it was before. Despite these changes, Jack remained content with his financial situation and lived a happy life.

从前，有一个名叫杰克的人，他拥有一百万美元。他决定将其加到他的总资产中，而他的总资产已经是这个数字的两倍。然而，他很快意识到，他需要通过将总数除以2来减少开支。这使他的财富减半，但仍然是一笔可观的数目。杰克随后决定将储蓄翻倍，使他的总资产恢复到之前的十二倍。尽管发生了这些变化，杰克仍然对他的财务状况感到满意，过上了幸福的生活。
