A man gives a beggar $10 every day. This continues for a year. Suddenly, the daily donation changes to $5.
The beggar thinks, “Better than nothing.”
A year passes again suddenly alms cut to $2.
Beggar asks the man, “First you give $10 daily, then $5 & now only $2. What’s the problem?”
Donor: “Last year my eldest son went to university. It’s expensive, so I had to cut costs.
This year my daughter started university, so I cut costs more.”
“How many children do you have?” the beggar asks.
“Four” the man replies.
Beggar: “Well, do you plan to educate them all at my expense?”
