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, "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 Honour, I have been buying a pound loaf of bread from the baker.

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?"

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.

Please don't be like them. Instead be wise and be an example of encouragement and honestly wherever you go,

and the world will be a better place for being you in it.
