The Three Gifts of Money

A generous man went to three friend and he gave them each a bit of money.

The first man took his money and threw it in the river.

The second man gambled with his money and lost it all.

The third, upon seeing a child starving, bought the child a meal.

When the generous man saw his friends the next day, he asked them each what they had done with their gifts.

After hearing what the first man had done, he said, "You fool! You are no friend of mine!"

After hearing what the second man had done, he said, "You wasteful man! You are no friend of mine!"

After hearing what the third man had done, he said, "Ah! You took a gift from me and made it into an even greater gift for someone else. You are no friend of mine. You are now my brother."
