A rich man went to a wise man and asked "Wise master, how can i get as many friends as the riches i possess?", the wise master knowing what his problem was called him to the window " come have a look into the square, what do you see?","i see a maltitude of people" replied the rich man. After a few moments he called him the mirror, "now what do you see?", "i see myself" he replied. The wise man said to him "the mirror and the window pane are made of glass, but if you put SILVER behind the glass you fail to see the people and ionly see yourself!" This little story teaches us how easy it is to forget the people around us once we come upon a fortune. We need to keep in mind that money can buy you friends but not happiness, therefore we should let others share in the joy of the wealth we have amassed for ourselves. 'Money is like manure, if it is not spread it stinks'
