There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker.
One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound
and he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to court.
The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The
farmer replied, amour Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but
I do have a scale." The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the
butter?"
The farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the baker
started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from
him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give
him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the
baker."
What is the moral of the story?
We get back in life what we give to others. Whenever you
take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair value for the
wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and dishonesty become a habit.
Some people practice dishonesty and can lie with a straight
face. Others lie so much that they don't even know what the truth is anymore.
But who are they deceiving?
