The Generous Rich Man and the Beggar

ne day a hungry beggar went to the house of a rich man. He asked for something

to eat. The rich man invited the beggar in and gave him some soup. The beggar drank

the soup very quickly. When he finished the rich man asked, “Do you want more to

eat?” “No, thanks,” the beggar answered. “That was enough.

I’m full.” But the rich man gave the beggar a large plate of meat.

The beggar finished that very quickly also. “Do you want more to eat?” the rich

man asked again. “No, thanks,” the beggar answered. “That was enough.

I’m full.”
