| 453069 | 2006-05-09 05:02:00 | So true !!! "Once upon a time, in China, there was a priest who was both avaricious and rich, He loved jewels, which he collected, constantly adding more pieces to his wonderful hoard, which he kept securely locked away, hidden from any eyes but his own, Now the priest had a friend who visited him one day and who expressed interest in seeing the gems. ‘I would be delighted to take them out. so that I, too, could look at them,’ said the priest. So the collection was brought and the two feasted their eyes on the beautiful treasure for a long time, lost in admiration. When the time came for him to leave, the priest’s guest said: ‘Thank you giving me the treasure!’ ‘Do not thank me for something which you have not got’, said the priest, ‘for I have not given you the jewels, and they are not yours at all,’ His friend answered: ‘As you know, I have had as much pleasure from looking at the treasures as you, so there is no difference between us, as you yourself only look at them - except that you have the trouble and expense of finding, buying, and looking after them.’ |
