The rich man had everything money could buy but was not happy. One day, he met a master who tricked him into thinking the bag containing all his wealth was stolen to teach him a lesson. When the master returned the bag, the rich man realized how fortunate he was to have what he had. The master explained that people often take for granted what they have and only realize its importance when they lose it or lack it. The greatest misfortune is not realizing one is fortunate.
