THE GREEDY MISER

One day a miser was going on a journey on the way he lost his purse containing a hundred gold coins. He advertised in the newspapers promising a reward of ten gold coins to person who finds the purse and bring to him .A few days later a farmer brought to him the purse. The miser counted the money and found that there were a hundred gold coins. He was very happy, and thanked the farmer in a very polite manner. The farmer asked for the reward. Then the miser remarked that the purse contained a hundred and ten gold coins and that the farmer had already taken his reward. There was a quarrel and the farmer appealed to their judge. After hearing the case the judge asked for the purse. He noticed that the purse could contain just a hundred coins. He concluded that the miser was telling lies. He told the miser that the purse was not his because it was not able to contain more than a hundred gold coins. Finally the purse was presented to the farmer. The greedy and dishonest miser came to grief and went away.
