YOU WILL RECEIVE FOR WHAT YOU GAVE

YOU WILL RECEIVE FOR WHAT YOU GAVE


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 he took 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." !

Thus the truth of the matter came to light and the baker hung his face in shame.



We get back in life what we give to others
