I know it is long one, trust me , take 5 min and read , u ll lose nothing

There was a farmer who sold a pound of butter to the baker. One day the baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and he found that he was not. This angered him and hetook the farmer to court

The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The farmer replied, "your Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper measure, but I do have a scale". The judge asked, "Then how do you weigh the butter"? The farmer replied, "Your Honor, long before the baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on the scale and give him the same.weight in butter. If anyone is to be blamed, it is the baker"

What is the moral of the story ?We get back in life what we give to others

Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question - Am I
?giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make

Honesty and dishonesty become a habit. Some people practice dishonesty and can lie with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don't even know what the truth is anymore. But who are
.they deceiving ? Themselves - more than anyone else

Honesty can be put across gently. Some people take pride in
being brutally honest. It seems they are getting a bigger kick out
.of the brutality than the honesty
.Choice of words and tact are important

thanks a lot Omani Asli....

it was a nice story to read and get benefit from it.

do a pound of butter is same as a pound of bread????!!!!!!!

second thing about the short conversation u gave about the hounestity

I agree with u

you have to think a lot before plaming others when they lie on you

and ask yourself

?Am I honest with them or not in first.

A Pound is A Pound! If it is Cotton, Bread, Iron, Honey or Butter. The moral of the Story is so Important, that we need to think very deeply before reacting. The saying (Tit For Tat) is very true, ans so is DO UNTO OTHERS WHAT YOU WOULD LIKE DONE UNTO YOU. Congratulations brother, and thank you very much for the Story. Please keep up the good work.
