1- A Story with a Life Lesson About Honesty
His health had begun to deteriorate with age, and he felt that the time had come to rest after amassing a significant amount of money, enough for a happy life.
The merchant was looking for a house that matched his financial status and social standing. He approached a man who wanted to sell his house and bought it from him.
The merchant lived happily in his new home. One day, while looking at one of the walls of the house, he had an idea: "If I tear down this wall, I’ll have a larger and more beautiful space."
Indeed, the merchant took an axe and began demolishing the wall. To his astonishment, he discovered something incredible: a jar filled with jewelry and gold buried under the wall.
The merchant exclaimed in surprise, "My God, a great treasure is buried here! I must return it to its owner; it’s not right for me to keep it.
The merchant carried the jar and went to the man from whom he had bought the house and said, "This jar belongs to you. If you had known there was a jar filled with gold and jewelry under the house, you would not have sold it."
The man replied, "This is not mine. The house is yours, including everything in it."
Both men refused to take the jar and decided to go to the judge of the city to resolve the matter.
The judge listened to their story and said, "I have never seen two honest men like you disputing to refuse a treasure instead of disputing to claim it!"
Then the judge asked if they had descendants. The honest merchant replied that he had one daughter, while the other man said he had a son.
The judge said, "Let your son marry his daughter, and they can use this gold for their future."
The men agreed to this suggestion, seeing it as the perfect solution. The son and daughter were married, and everyone lived happily and contentedly.
Honesty is an everlasting treasure, and an honest man is blessed by God and respected by all.
