Once there lived a poor farmer who worked very hard to
maintain his big family. But he could hardly manage two square meals a day. One
day while working in the field he found a basket. He picked it up and carried
it home. His wife became very glad to see it. She thought that the purse must
contain some valuable things. By selling those things they could overcome their
poverty and enjoy happy days. But the farmer was an honest man. He was not at
all interested to use anything from the purse. His wife opened it and found
many gold coins covered with some ragged clothes. She told the farmer to use
all the coins for themselves. The farmer was in a great problem. However, he
announced in the market that he had found a purse. The real owner could take it
from him showing the real identity. At last the real owner was discovered. The
owner of the purse became highly pleased at the honesty of the poor farmer and
gave him some gold coins as a reward for his rare quality. He sold the gold
coins and got a lot of money. With the money the farmer started a small
business. In course of time, he became a rich man. His poverty disappeared and
he became solvent and happy. Thus his honesty was rewarded.
