One rich man asked a friend:
- Why am I reproached for greed when it is known that after my death I ordered that everything I have be transferred to charitable purposes?
“In response,” said the friend, “let me tell you about how the pig complained to the cow that she was being treated poorly: “People always talk about your kindness and gentle eyes. Of course, you give them milk and butter, but I give them more: sausage, hams and chops, skin and stubble, even my legs are cooked! And still no one loves me. Why is this so? The cow thought for a while and answered: “Maybe because I give everything while I’m still alive?”
