Long ago, a poor man found a bag full of gold coins. The poor man was very happy. Suddenly, he heard a rich man announce, “If anyone finds a bag of coins, I will reward him with a hundred gold coins.” The poor man heard this and decided to return the bag to the rich man. But when the rich man got the bag, he refused to give the reward he had announced. He said, “This bag contained two hundred gold coins but now there are only a hundred. I am sure you have kept them for yourself. So, I will not reward you.” The poor man was angry and took the matter to the judge. The judge heard everything and said, “Since the rich man’s bag had two hundred gold coins, this bag belongs to the poor man as it has only a hundred coins.”
