Mark lived in a grand mansion with a beautiful big garden in the front. His grandfather was a renowned politician in the city. Although Mark’s grandfather and parents were wealthy, yet they were always kind and generous. Each morning, Mark saw many people come to his mansion to meet his grandfather. He always noticed a sage who regularly visited and asked for alms. He had a peaceful and smiling face. One morning, Mark asked his grandfather, “Why is this man so happy when he doesn’t even have enough food to feed himself?” His grandfather explained, “Most people who have money are actually unhappy. The sage may not have money to buy food, but he is a very rich man. He has the wealth of this universe. He does not worry about little things like we do, or stress to earn money. That’s why he is always happy.” Mark understood why his grandfather always helped the sage.
