Full Story:
One day, a grocer borrowed a balance and weights from a fruit seller. After a few days, the fruit seller asked the grocer to return
his balance and weights to him. The grocer said, “The mice ate away your balance and weights. I am sorry that I can’t return them
to you.” The lame excuse of the dishonest grocer made the fruit seller very angry. But he controlled his temper and said, “Never
mind. I can’t blame you. It’s my bad luck.” The grocer thought to himself, “The illiterate fruit seller is a great fool.” Then one day,
the fruit seller said to the grocer, “I am going to the town to do some shopping. Please send your son with me to carry my things.
We will come back tomorrow.” So, the grocer sent his son with the fruit seller. The next day the fruit seller returned alone from
the town. “Where is my son?” asked the grocer. “A crow carried your son away?” replied the fruit seller. “You liar. How can a crow
carry away such a big boy?” the grocer shouted angrily. “Just the same way as mice can eat away the balance and weights,” said
the fruit seller. The grocer got the point. He returned the balance and weights to the fruit seller and told him with tearful eyes, “I
wronged you greatly by lying to you about your weight and balance. I will give them back to you. Please forgive me and give me
back my son.” Then the fruit seller sent the boy back to his father.
