What You Have
A lesson about giving.


One man bought himself a house with a beautiful large orchard. He was very happy. In the evenings he went out into the orchard to breathe fresh air and admire the harvest ripening. Everything should be fine, only next to his house there was a small old house in which a very spiteful neighbour lived. This neighbour endlessly tried to do some dirty trick, such as throwing garbage into the orchard.

Once the man went out onto the porch, and lo and behold, there was a bucket of slops. And the man decided to do the following. He poured out the slops, cleaned out the bucket so it shone like new, collected the largest and most beautiful apples in it, then went to his neighbour, and knocked on the door.

The neighbour thought: "Well, finally, I got him! Now I’ll start a fight with him." He opens the door, and there is a bucket of apples.

"Hey, wait," he called after the leaving man. Why did you bring me apples? After all, I always just threw shit at you."

"What you have," said the man turning around, "is what you share with others."
