Discovering Ones Own Riches
I lived on the shady side of the road and watched my neighbours gardens across the way revelling in the sunshine. I felt I was poor and from door to door went in my hunger. The more they gave me, from their careless abundance, the more I became aware of my beggars bowl. Till one morning I awoke from my sleep at the sudden opening of my door and you came and asked for alms. In despair, I broke open the lid of my chest and was startled into finding my own wealth.
