Once upon a time there were businessmen named Nick and Sam. They traveled together. On the way there Sam sees a bag lying underneath. He opened that bag and found that the bag was full of gold coins.

“Aha! I am very lucky to have so many gold coins,” said Sam. Then Nick said, “You are not the only one who is lucky. I am also lucky.”

“How can that be? I just saw this bag first. So all the gold is for me. So it’s not luck for you,” Sam said.

Nick did not say anything when he heard what Sam said. Nick thought that one should not fight without need. At that moment, someone shouted from behind, “Thief, thief!” When Sam looks back, he sees some people running towards him with stones and sticks in their hands.

Then Sam said “Aw! God, now that we have seen this gold, we will be trapped” he said anxiously. To which Nick said “Not ours. Just Yours. You told me that all those gold coins belonged to you. So now the trap is for you not me”

Note:

It is nonsense to be selfish. Sharing our luck gives happiness more.
