The poor man's wealth
John and Raj were neighbours. John was a poor farmer and Raj were a landlord. John used to be very relaxed and happy. He never bothered to close the doors and windows of his house at night. He had deep sound sleeps. Although he had no money he was happy. One the otherside, Raj used to be very tensed always. He was very keen to close the doors and windows at night. He could not sleep properly at night. He always tensed that someone might break his windows and entered the room and stole his money. He envied the peaceful John. One day, Raj called John and gave him a boxfull of cash and said, "Look my dear friend, I am blessed with plenty of wealth. I find you in poverty. So take this cash and live luxurious life." John became very happy. Night came, John went to bed usual but today he could not sleep. He went and close the door and windows. He still could not sleep. He began to keep looking at the box of money. The whole night he was disturbed. As soon as day broke, John took the box of cash to Raj. He gave back the box to Raj and said," Dear friend, I am poor but your money took away peace from me. Please bear with me and take back your money.
