One day a rich boy came to school with an expensive wallet. The style
was so attractive that soon all the students had bought a similar
wallet - all the students except for one poor boy. Finally, after
much saving, the poor boy had almost enough money to buy the wallet. He
went to the store and approached the owner: "Sir, this is every penny I
have. Can you sell me the wallet with a slight discount?"
The shopkeeper replied: "You foolish child. When you have so little
money, what use do you have for a fancy wallet?"
