In a mud hut far from town lived an old grass-cutter named Wali
Dad.
Every morning, Wali Dad cut and bundled tall, wild grass. Every
afternoon, he sold it as fodder in the marketplace.
Each day, he earned thirty paisa. Ten of the small coins went for
food. Ten went for clothes and other needs. And ten he saved in a clay
pot under his bed.
In this manner, Wali Dad lived happily for many years.
One evening, Wali Dad thought he would drag out the pot and see
how much money it held. He was amazed to find that his coins had
filled it to the brim.
"What am I to do with all this money?" he said to himself. "I
need nothing more than I have!"
Wali Dad thought and thought. At last, he had an idea.
