3. Blind Listening
A stupid man was sent by his father to sell salt. He first went to a mining area but nobody there wanted his salt. When he returned home, his father told him that if he had helped the miners to dig, they would have bought his salt. The man next went to a house where a wedding was taking place. There he dug a huge hole. This made the people angry and they chased him away. When he returned home, his father told him that if he had beaten a drum and danced instead, the people would have bought salt from him. Then, he went to a village where there happened to be a fire. Rushing to the place, he started drumming and dancing, only to be thrown out by the people. His father told him that he should have poured water on the fire instead, if he wanted to sell salt there. In the next place he went to, a couple were fighting with each other. The foolish man poured a bucketful of water on them, again to be chased away. His father later told him that he should have tried to settle the quarrel, in which case they would have bought salt from him. In the final event, the man saw two bulls fighting with each other. He stepped in to stop the fight and was gored to death by angry bulls.
4. Money Isnt Everything

Donald, Daisy, Huey, Louie, and Dewey all went to visit Oncle Scrooge one cold autumn day. They knocked at the door and had to wait a long time before all the bolts were undone. Even then Uncle Scrooge looked very suspicious, as if they were Beagle Boys in disguise. The old miser was very surprised to see them all. Well, well. I suppose youd better come in, he croaked at the door. Have you got a sore throat, Great- Uncle Scrooge? Chirped Louie. Dont be cheeky, Louie! scolded Daisy.
Stuff and nonsense! croaked. Uncle Scrooge. I have got a sore throat! The young lads right. Sorry to hear thet, Uncle, said Donald sympathetically. Should I send Dewey out to get you some cough drops? No. They cost too much money nowadays, complained the old miser. Id rather suffer the tickle in my throat. You dont seem very happy, Uncle Scrooge, soothed Daisy. Mind you own business! snapped Uncle Scrooge. Poor old Great-Uncle Scrooge, chirped Dewey, who had jumped up to sit on his Great- Uncle knee. What do you mean- poor Great-Uncle Scrooge! chuckled Uncle Scrooge. Ive got more money then Fort Knox. What I meant, explained Dewey, was that I had a sore throat too, and I hardly have any money. But I bought some cough drops and gave them to Uncle Scrooge. You can have my caught drops, Uncle, smiled Dewey, because they cured my sore throat. Uncle Scrooge didnt know what to say. But one great big tear rolled down his face. Poor Great-Uncle Scrooge, echoed the triplets.
