Parable of the Apples

A man bought himself a new, big, beautiful house. And the garden with fruit trees - everything is good, neat. Nearby, in a crooked, old house, there lived an envious neighbor who constantly tried to spoil his mood: either he would throw garbage under the gate, or he would do some other nasty thing. And one day a man woke up in a good mood, went out onto the porch... and there was a bucket of slop. The man took a bucket, poured out the slop, cleaned the bucket until it was shiny, collected the largest, ripest and most delicious apples into it and went to his neighbor. The neighbor, hearing a knock on the door, thought maliciously: “Finally, I got him!!!” He opens the door in the hope of a scandal, and the man hands him a bucket of apples and says: “Whoever is rich in what, shares it!”
