Once upon a time in a city of vikramaditya, Ujjayini there lived two friends who were very rich merchants. No doubt they were friends but they had different attitudes and business strategies. One of them was a miser, he used to hide his treasures in a safe place without showing it to anyone. The other was a generous man who used to invest in building the society and thus made good reputation with blessings and well-wishers.
People of that city used to respect both but in a different manner. They knew that the miser merchant was rich and greedy so they respected him in fear, as they were afraid of his hidden secret witchcrafts. Where as they also respected the generous merchant who was good at heart and in turn did justice to the citizens.
There was a famous thief in the same city who was well known for his wicked robbing tricks. Obviously he was constantly in search of valuable treasures. He saw both the merchants and thought of how to rob their rich treasures. After thinking for a long time he came to a conclusion that it would not be possible to rob the generous merchant who had no secret treasures but had invested everything in the open world without hiding anything. He thought it would be possible to rob the miser greedy merchant who had hidden his treasures. Thus he made a plan and was looking for an opportunity to fulfill his bad desire.
Once when there were celebrations in the city, when everybody were completely lost in the pleasure of joy and celebration, he mysteriously robbed the treasures of the greedy miser merchant.
Moral of the story: Hidden richness will be robed easily. Money is like Manure, Spread it and it does good. Pile it up in one place and it Stinks.
