A story with a profound lesson

Once a mystic was well received by a poor Jew, and he blessed him with wealth, figuring, that if he gave of himself when he is poor, how much more so when he will be rich.

Unfortunately, after his blessing became true, he heard that he had become stingy.

He paid him a visit, and saw a large beautiful mirror, so he asked his very grateful host, if he could take him to his window and tell him what he sees – “why I see Yankel the tailor, Berel the shoemaker, walking by.”

And tell me, what do you see in the mirror, I see myself, of course!

Now, both the mirror and the window are made of glass, why is it from one you see others, but the other, only yourself?!

“You see,” he explained, “a thin layer of silver covers the mirror!” Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom – let your email find you!
