The שמש of the חתם סופר would boast that he is the שמש of the גאון and that he has a wealthy uncle. One day, the רבי said to him: “If you would have wealth like your uncle and be able to learn like me, you would have what to boast about. But when you have money like me and learn like your uncle, what do you have to boast about?”
