The next day the rich banker again came to visit the cobbler. He came with ten thousand taka in a bag. He said to him, “Look, my friend! I’ve brought ten thousand taka for you Keep this money and remove your distress.” The cobbler was greatly surprised. At first he refused to lake the money. The rich man told him that he could use the money in times of difficulties. The cobbler took the bag of money from the rich man and thanked him.

Now a new thinking took hold of the cobbler. He said to himself, “Ten thousand taka is a lot of money. He could not think where to keep the money. He did not find any safe place to keep the bag. He dug a hole in his hut and kept the money there. But he always thought that his money could be stolen at any time.
