The Richest Man


This question was presented to the man called the Madman:
"Who is the richest man?"and he said: "The man who shares his wealth."
And he was told: "You are completely mad. If you share your wealth, you will lose it sooner or later and then you will be left with no wealth to share."
And the Madman answered: "All that we share, has the virtue of never coming to an end since to share is to give our best. One day it may be part of a kingdom, another day, may be advise, another day may be our time. There are so many things to share that they have beginning but never have end."
And he was told: "You speak nonsense."And the Madman said: "What seems nonsense to you, for me is simply to share a little of me."
