A son says to his Mother: "Mother, today I fought with my friend."<br />His Mother says: "Why did you fight with your friend?"<br />"Because he demanded something of me, and I would not give it to him."<br />"Why did you not give it to him?"<br />"Because it was mine."<br />"My son, you now have possessions, but you do not have your friend. Which would you rather have?"<br />"My friend."<br />"Then give freely, trusting that you will also be given what you need.
