The Baker and the
Farmer
A baker in a little country town bought the butter he used
from a nearby farmer. One day he suspected that the bricks
of butter were not full pounds, and for several days he
weighed them.
He was right. They were short weight, and he had the
farmer arrested.
At the trial the judge said to the farmer, "I presume you
have scales?"
"No, your honor."
"Then how do you manage to weigh the butter you sell?"
inquired the judge.
The farmer replied, "That's easily explained, your honor. I
have balances and for a weight I use a one-pound loaf I
buy from the baker."
Reflection
Do not do unto others what you would
not have others do unto you.

The Fisherman
A man saw a fisherman standing by a lake with a mirror.
“Excuse me,” he asked the fisherman. "What are you
doing?"
“I am fishing,” the fisherman replied.
“With a mirror?”
“Sure - it’s a new discovery.
I’m going to make a fortune!”
“Can you tell me how it works?”
“Okay, but it’ll cost you a hundred dollars.”
The first man was curious and greedy; he gave the
fisherman the money.
“Well,” the fisherman began, “first you aim the mirror into
the water. When a fish comes along, you shock the fish
with the rays of light reflected from the mirror. The fish will
get confused and then you grab it.” The first man was
stunned. “You can’t mean to tell me that’s how you fish. It’s
ridiculous! How many have you caught?"
“You’re the fifth today!” the fisherman replied coolly.
Reflection
The world today is full of con men. People are
trapped and become victims because of their
greed. When delusion and greed overwhelm a
person's mind, he loses wisdom and clarity of the
mind. Beware! Let not greed conquer us for greed
and covetousness will lead one to a suffering
state.
