There was a man in a village. He was known to the villagers
as a miser. He was about 35 years old and unmarried. As a result, he had no
responsibility for his family. He always thought about himself. One day during
the harvest he called for some laborers. They demanded ten Taka each per hour.
But the miser told them that he would pay them Taka three and he would not
enhance the rate by any means. At this. The laborers left. Afterwards, no one
in the village or the nearby villages agreed to work for him. The miser did not
increase the rate, rather he started cutting his crops himself but he could not
continue with the work for a long time. He incurred a great loss that year.
