The Banker and The Pauper
Once upon a time there lived a pauper and a banker. The first
was as poor as the second was rich. So it was inevitable that the rich
man will be happier than the pauper. But their natures were opposite,
for the poor man was happy whereas the banker was not. The barker
was annoyed of the fact that while he tossed and turned in his bed at
night, the pauper slept peacefully and always awoke rested and full of energy,
One day the banker could stand it no longer. He decided to find out why the
pauper was a happy man inspite of his poverty. So he summoned him to his house and
asked him his yearly income because he believed that happiness could only be
measured in terms of wealth.
"I don't count too well, nor do I really care I live each day as it comes and
never worry about the next." "Well, then, just tell me how much you earn in one day."
insisted the rich man.
"I earn what I need. And even that would be too much were it not for all the
Sundays and holidays when I must close my shop." The banker liked the pauper. He
wished to thank him for coming to his house, so he presented the poor man with a bog
of hundred gold coins,
Now, to the pauper these coins, which meant so little to the borker, seemed a
great fortune. He decided to hide the bog, so that he would have the money if ever
he should need it. So, when he returned to his house, he dug a big hole in a secluded
corner of the garden, threw the bag into it, and covered it with dirt.
But from that day on, the poor man's life changed- he began to worry abou
the safety of his money. Every night he slept a little less, and each time he heard th
slightest sound, he became anxious about the safety of his coins
Finally, he could bear his unhappiness no longer. He went to the garden, dug
the coins and returned them to the banker The pauper had lear
an important lesson, and so has the banker
