Once upon a time there was a rich merchant. He was returning home from work. He brought along with

himself a large sum of money he had collected throughout the day. He was quite wealthy and valued

money the most. On the way he was trapped in heavy rainfall. He got totally drenched and along with him his money also got wet. He started grumbling and cursed the rainfall due to which he had to suffer
heavy loss. Sometime later a robber attacked him. He could make out that he was a wealthy man and
was carrying the money. He was about to fire, but the gun did not work because the gun powder had
got damp and was not working. Meantime the merchant got a chance to escape and saved himself
from the loss of his life as well as money. Then he realised that the rain, which he was cursing
