The miser and his gold
An old miser lived
in a house with a garden.
The miser hid his
gold coins in a pit under some stones in the garden.
Every
day, before going to bed, the miser went to the stones where he hid the gold
and counted the coins.
He continued this routine every day, but not
once did he spend the gold he saved.
One day, a thief
who knew the old miser’s routine, waited for the old man to go back into his
house.
After
it was dark, the thief went to the hiding place and took the gold.
The next
day, the old miser found that his treasure was missing and started crying
loudly.
His neighbor heard
the miser’s cries and inquired about what happened. On learning what happened,
the neighbor asked,
“Why
didn’t you save the money inside the house? It would’ve been easier to access
the money when you had to buy something!”
“Buy?”, said the
miser. “I never used the gold to buy anything. I was never going to spend it.”
On hearing this,
the neighbor threw a stone into the pit and said, “If that is the case, save
the stone. It is as worthless as the gold you have lost”.
Moral
A possession is
just as worthy of what it is used for.
