In a town in France, there was a farmer who lived alone. Every day he s a pound of butter to his neighbor, who was a baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see i
he was getting a pound. After he weighed it, he found that he wasn’t. The baker then took the farmer to the judge (法官).
The judge wanted to know the farmer’s ways to weigh the butter. The farmer replied, “ I’ m so p that I do not have enough money to buy anything to weigh it. H
, I do have a kind of scale (天平).” The judge asked, “Then h
do you weigh the butter?” The farmer replied, “Before the baker started buying butter from me , I had bought bread from him. So now every time when I b
home the bread from the baker, I put it on the scale and give him the butter of the same w
.”
We always get back what we give to others. Whenever you take action, ask yourself this question, “Am I honest?”
Honesty or dishonesty can become a habit. Some dishonest people can lie w a red face. Others lie so m
that they do not even know what the truth is any more. But who is it bad for? In fact, those who lie will hurt t
by their own dishonest behavior.
