One day a poor poet was sitting next to a rich man. The rich man was unhappy that some unknown young man was sitting next to him, and in order to humiliate him, he asked:

- Well, tell me, what separates you from the donkey?

He, looking at the distance that separated them from each other, answered:

- A little! Just one quarter.
