One day a poor farmer took a bag of wheat to town. He didn‘t know what to do when the bag fell off the horse. The bag was too heavy for him to lift. He hoped that someone would come to help him. Or he would be too late to get the money for the wheat.
After a minute a man came over. But the farmer‘s heart sank when he saw the man, because that was a well-known man in the town. The farmer was afraid to ask him for help.
As soon as he came up to the farmer, the farmer got off the horse. The famous man said, ―You need my help, don‘t you? Let me give you a hand.‖ Then he helped the farmer lift the bag onto the horse back.
―Sir,‖ asked the farmer, ―how can I pay you?‖
―Well,‖ the well-known man answered, ―If you see anyone is in need of help, do the same for him.‖
