My translation of the second-to-last verse of Three Character Classic:

人遗子金满籯
我教子惟一经

Some grant their sons and daughters
Their heaps of golden greed;
I teach to you my children,
A book is all you need.

my printed edition in Simplified actually gives 籝 which is variously listed in different dictionaries as the simplified form, an old alternate form, or too obscure to have an entry
