Binyamin was a successful merchant. He had amassed wealth and many friends whom he had generously assisted. During a financial crisis, however, he lost his wealth and then his friends. They stopped coming to visit. They no longer knew him. But Binyamin’s reversal of fortune did not last long. He persisted and was successful in turning things around. His former friends found their way to his home. Seeing them coming, Binyamin went to his safe, took out stacks of cash and placed them in a chest. He put the chest on the dining room table. When the guests entered, they asked what was in the chest. “My friends, I know that you did not come to see me. You came to see my money. So look, but don’t touch.”
