A STORY OF GOLD COINS:
There was once a poor man who earned his living through severe hardship.He had nothing but one copper coin that he would earn everyday for himself as his prized saving and treasure.In order to keep it safe from theft and loss, every single day after work, he would trek up the high mountains and climb the extremely steep walls of a fortress and hide the coin he earn, inside a carefully hidden gap in between the blocks of rock in the wall.
One day the King who ruled the era, was standing up on the tallest tower of his fortress, inspecting things around him and saw tha man clinging on to the steep and fiercely dangerous wall of the fortress.He immediately summoned the guards to have the peasant brought before his presence.
The King immediately asked the soilders to check for the bag of coins in the wall of the fortress in order to validate the peasant claim.
The presant replied fearfully "Dear King, please forgive me.I am now more worried then i was before.Earlier i had only 100 coins and as of yesterday you have give me 500 more coins and i wanted to make sure they are all safe and so i was climbing even more higher up in the walls to safe guard them".
The King smiled, he was a compassionate and very clever ruler,he instantly recognized the greed in the peasant and decided to check him further."What if i give you a 1000 gold not copper coins.Would you then stop climbing the wall and riskingyour life?"he asked.The peasant replied innocently with a gleam in his eyes, "Oh!Thank you. But i will still have to climb the walls as i have left my 600 copper coins in the wall and i will bring them down and then i will have 1000 gold coins and 600 coppercoins."
