There was a poor student. He lived in a small room near a restaurant. His room was at the back of the kitchen. The restaurant owner was a very selfish man. But he was a good cook and the food in his restaurant was delicious, so many people came to his restaurant to eat and drink.

One day when the owner was in his kitchen, he heard the poor student talking with his friend. “You aren’t very happy, are you?” asked his friend. “Oh, no, I am very happy.” said the student, “I am interested in my room.” “ But you have money to buy nice food to eat.” “Yes, it’s true. I eat only rice. But the smells from the kitchen make the rice nice indeed,” said the student.

The restaurant owner was angry. The student was stealing the smells from his kitchen! He decided to take him to court.

Everybody laughed when the selfish man finished his story. But the judge said seriously, “The student was wrong.” The restaurant owner was happy and the poor student was afraid very much. What could he do? He had only a few coins.

The judge asked the student if he had money. The student took out four coins and gave them to the judge.

“Let the coins fall into your left hand,” said the judge. The court was very quiet and everyone heard the sound of the coins as they were falling into the students left hand.

“Well,” said the judge to the restaurant owner, “you’ve heard his money. You’ve been paid for your smells.”
