A Pound Of Butter

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to
the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the
butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found
that he was not. This angered him and he took the
farmer to court. The judge asked the farmer if he
was using any measure. The farmer replied, amour
Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper
measure, but I do have a scale." The judge asked,
"Then how do you weigh the butter?" The farmer
replied "Your Honor, long before the baker started
buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound
loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker
brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him
the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be
blamed, it is the baker."

What is the moral of the story? We get back in life
what we give to others. Whenever you take an
action, ask yourself this question: Am I giving fair
value for the wages or money I hope to make?
Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some
people practice dishonesty and can lie with a
straight face. Others lie so much that they don't
even know what the truth is anymore. But who are
they deceiving? Themselves
