Buddhist Tale: The Wealthy "Brother". Once, a man was admired for his dignity, wisdom, and vast wealth. An envious fool claimed him as his brother. But when the wealthy man fell into debt, the fool denied the relationship. Someone asked, "You called him your brother before. Why do you deny it now?" The fool said, "I only called him brother for his money. Now he's broke,I naturally won't acknowledge him as my brother." Wisdom:People who change their stance with the wind, sacrificing their integrity for immediate gains, will eventually find no one believes or helps them anymore. Such a person is truly a fool!
