  2. A Story

    Share Share Post
    A man dreamt of a crock of gold, and in his dream, he was to divide it equally with another man, but being too selfish he never told the man about it.
    He rose early the third morning and went to the place about which he dreamt.
    He found the crock, but instead of gold it appeared as sand to him.
    He left it there uncovered. A man living in the place found the crock, and it appeared as gold to him.
