Reena, Your 100 words give me a thrill once again! Here is another compact, beautiful story, with wisdom in the commentary also. I love that the person throwing rupees out the window is the one responsible for the mistake. Often, we give too much and only realize later what it cost. There is all kinds of figurative weight and wisdom in this little gem.
