A rich neighbor of his was a banker. One day, the banker said to him, “How much money a year do you make ” The cobbler said, “I make enough to make both ends meet.” “I am sorry for that. You must be living in a poor condition,” said the banker. “But I am used to this kind of life and I am happy,” said the cobbler. The next day, the rich banker came to visit the cobbler again. He came with ten thousand taka (塔卡，孟加拉国货币单位) in a bag. He said to him, “Look, my friend! I’ve brought ten thousand taka for you. Keep this money and remove your distress (贫穷).” The cobbler was greatly surprised. At first he refused to take the money. The banker told him that he could use the money in times of difficulties. The cobbler took the bag of money from the banker at last and thanked him. Now a new anxiety (焦虑) took hold of the cobbler. He said to himself, “Ten thousand taka is a lot of money.” He could not think where to keep the money. He did not find any safe place to keep the money.
