A wealthy man went out through the streets of his hometown, dressed as a beggar. He rang the bell of a few residents. Some welcomed him, others refused him, yet others ignored him and even yelled at him, humiliating him. A few months later, the wealthy man organized a meal and invited the people he had earlier visited. The waiters led them to the place they were to sit, with their name written by each plate. When the food was served, some had a luscious meal, while others had barely anything, a few peas, a slice of bread, one had 4 beans and others had a wedge of an orange. When the complaints started, the man came over and told them ‘a few months ago, I came begging at your homes, and you did not recognize me. So today I decided to give you the equivalent of what you gave me on that day. And those who complained had nowhere to hide because of their shame!
