The Sound of Coins
A parable, possibly of Buddhist origin:
The baker dangled the freshly made bread under the Bodhisatva’s nose. He knew it was overpriced, but the smell still enticed Him. So He breathed in deep. The baker, knowing he had lost the sale, said
“Hey, if you are enjoying the smell of my bread, you have to pay for it”
He shook the coins in his pockets:
“You can hear the sound of my coins in return for the smell of your bread”. And He walked away.
Only pay for what you have bought.
