Once upon a time, there lived a very poor beggar. He had not eaten for many days. But one day, he found a very rich village. He thought that people will give money since they have lots of it. He went to the most expensive-looking mansion and knocked on the door. An old man wearing expensive clothes and a robe answered the door. "What do you want?" said the rich man. The beggar said "I am poor and you are rich. Can you give me some food or water?" The rich man laughed and said, "I don't have any of those." And slammed the door on the beggar's face. He knew that he definitely had food and water because what kind of rich person doesn't even buy expensive food? Anyway, the beggar was displeased by the rich man's behavior. And he got an idea. He knocked once more and said, "Can you at least give me a piece of bread?" The rich man shouted, "I DON'T HAVE ANY BREAD!!!" Then the beggar put his arm on the rich man's shoulder and said "Then what are you doing here? You are even poorer than I am. And invited the miser to beg with him.
MORAL OF THE DAY: Never become a miser.
