A Pound OF BUTTER

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?
Themselves.
