A merchant met a hermit holy man on his road. Merchant started show off that because of his riches he doesn’t have to consider no one’s wishes and tastes and he is free to do whatever he wants.
“Is it so!” wondered hermit. “When you searched a place to stay for your caravan. Did you pick it because the beauty of nature or you looked is there something to eat for your animals?”
“Of course I searched the place where they can find something to eat.”
“So looks like, even if you are rich you still live according to the needs and tastes of your animals” ,said hermit and started to laugh.
We can be rich or poor, but we are all dependet from what nature can give us.
