One thing that actually act as safe guard is that Bernèz arrived early which is actually a good thing for him though. This particular question
"Come,” he said to the young man, “sit down there and think about what you will do when you have money, gold, and precious stones at your discretion."
I will say that is the question every of our youth in our present generation need to ask of. I have noticed that every youth is desiring to be rich and rich but the truth is none of them is not actually or aware of the purpose of the wealth and like they always say, if the purpose of something is not known, abuse is certainly inevitable. Well back to the story, I will say the young man actually know the purpose of the wealth and has plan for it. Not only that but also want to plan it well. Not everyone will actually want to make other fellow men in his society to be rich.
