    Share Share Post
    Once upon a time there was a very wealthy man and he did not know what to do with his riches.One day a very poor man went to his door and knocked. So the man went to his door, and it was very late, and the poor man asked him would he keep him for the night. The man said in a loud vice that he would not keep him and what took him about his house, and he hunted the poor man. In a few days everything was dead about his house. In one month he was going about from house to house begging, and if the poor man came back again he would not hunt him.
