Long ago, in the city of Lima Peru, there lived a baker. He was so selfish and  stinky that he wouldn’t even give a stale crumb to the birds. His neighbour,  on the other hand, was a kind man who was always glad to share the little  he had. He cared more about making friends than he did about making  money. The greedy baker was so jealous of his cheerful neighbour. He grumbled,  “How can he have so little and yet be so happy?” Every morning, the smell  of cinnamon buns and sweet rolls drifted out of the bakery. The wind carried  the wonderful aroma toward the neighbour’s house. As the poor neighbour  sat on his porch eating stale bread, the sweet smell filled the air. He took a  deep breath and sighed with happiness. As the baker watched, he thought, “The smell from my baked goods makes  his stale bread taste delicious. That’s not fair. He should have to pay for such  pleasure”. After seeing this happen, again and again, the baker went to his  neighbour’s house and handed him a bill. The neighbour said, “You want me  to pay you? For what? I don’t have enough money to but anything from your  store”. “That’s right! You pay nothing and yet every day you steal the smell of my  baked goods,” yelled the baker. “You mean you want me to pay you ten  coins as a smelling fee?” laughed the neighbour. “Yes! From now on, I’ll not  be cheated and if you don’t pay, I’ll take you to the court,” replied the baker.  When the word of the baker’s demand spread around the city, everyone  laughed at the idea of a stolen smell. At last, the baker was so angry that he took the case to a respected judge.  Everyone was sure that the judge would dismiss the case. After all, how  could anyone steal a smell? But to their surprise, the judge said, “It’s my  duty to listen to what the baker has to say. I order both the baker and the  neighbour to come to the court tomorrowThe judge sent the word to the neighbour that he should bring five gold  coins with him. When the kind man heard this, he worried that he would  have to hand over the little money he had to the greedy baker. The baker  was delighted with the news. He grinned as he thought of his pockets full of  his neighbour’s gold coins. The next day, the baker and the neighbour arrived at the crowded court.  Many townspeople were puzzled by the judge’s actions and came to see  what the judge would do. They could not believe that he might make the  kind man pay for a smell. When the judge walked in, the courtroom fell silent. First, he listened to the  baker’s complaint. Then, he turned to the neighbour and asked, “Is it true  that you have enjoyed the smell of this man’s baked goods every day for  many years?” “Yes, your honour! I must confess that is true.” admitted the  neighbour. The judge thought for a while. Finally, he declared, “A smell has been stolen. Since stealing is a crime, the  neighbour must be punished!” The kind man protested, “But your  honour…” “Order in the court.” bellowed the judge. He then turned to the  neighbour and demanded, “Take the five gold coins out from your pocket!”  After the neighbour did so, the judge ordered, “Now, drop the coins from  one hand to the other!” The neighbour passed the gold coins back and forth  from one hand to the other. The judge turned to the baker and asked, “Did you hear the jingle of the  gold coins?” “Yes, I did!” said the baker with a greedy grin. “Did you like the  sound?” asked the judge. “Yes, it is a wonderful sound. It is the payment I  believe I deserve, “cried the baker. The baker began to move toward the  neighbour to grab the money. “Wait!” cried the judge. “You have already gotten a fair amount. Your  neighbour was guilty of stealing the smell of your baked goods. You have  been paid by making you hear the sound of his money. The case is  dismissed,” said the judge. Laughter filled the courtroom as the people  marvelled at the judge’s cleverness. The baker hung his head. Even he saw  how foolish and greedy he has been. From then on, the judge was known  as the wisest of all who treats people fairly and honestly while also taking verb ​
