RE: Folk Tales from Gascony: The Prince of the Seven Golden Cows, Part 1.

in #storylast year

There is something I have learnt about helping people and giving alms. Firstly, some people may think that they have a lot of money so no matter how well they spend, they won't go broke but that's a wrong instance. Any amount of money can finish in the world.

Just take a look at the prince of the seven golden cows. He has a good heart. There is no doubt that he's so kind and he does not want people to suffer so that was why he gave alms and also invited people for dinner but he forgot to spend wisely. He was making people happy and rich at the detriment of his net worth.

I would not say we should not help people but too much of everything is bad. There must be a limit to everything. Calculate and think if you will get affected by the money you're giving out or not. Don't just spend lavishly and don't take anyone in anyhow just like the young man who was taken in by the prince because he lost his wife but he already stole the prince's gold.

That's bad!
Nice story!
