One day a poor man was begging with an old
wallet in his hand. As he felt sad at his own bad luck, he kept wondering why
some wealthy people were never satisfied and were always wanting more.
"Here,"
said he, "is the master of this house—I know him well. He is a wealthy
businessman. He should have turned over his business to others, and then he
could have spent the rest of his life happily, but he didn't. Instead, he sent
his ships to sea to trade with foreign lands. However, there were great storms
on the water, so his ships were destroyed and his treasure disappeared in the
sea. As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not
want anything more."
Just
at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the poor man and stopped.
She said to him, "Listen! I want to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will
pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the
wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall
become dust. Do you understand?"
"Oh,
yes," said the poor man.
"Then
be careful," said Fortune. "Your wallet is old, so do not load it too
heavily."
The
beggar was so glad that he quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow
dollars poured into it. The wallet grew heavy.
