Clever Judge

A very very poor farmer stays very close to a very very rich and stingy business man. The farmer is so poor that he eats only plain rice everyday. He doesn't have extra money to buy vege, meat, fish or soup.

On the other side, the business man is having very good meals everyday. In order to swallow down the plain rice, the poor farmer brings his bowl with plain rice sits near to the rich man kitchen, so that he can smell the nicel smell of vege, meat, fish and soup while eating his plain rice.

After a few days of doing that, the business man notices the act of farmer. He is so angry and calls the police to catch the farmer. He also brings the farmer to the court.

"I want this farmer to compensate me for stealing the smell of my food," says the business man to the judge.

The judge agrees that the farmer needs to compensate for the smell. "Get ready RM1000, in coins!" orders the judge to the farmer.

Farmer is so sad. He deosn't have RM1000. So he sells his clothes, furnitures, chickens, goats, to get the money.

The judge puts the money (in coins) in a container. He then shakes the container in front of business man.

"Can you hear the sound?" asks the judge.

"Yes, your majesty," answers the business man happily.

After shaking the coins for few times, the judge returns the money to the farmer.

Both the farmer and business man are surprised. "That is my money," says the business man.

"The farmer has paid his compensation. The smell of food is already paid with the sound of money," says the judge.
