Once upon a time, there was a small village in Baghdad, with a small population. In this village, everybody knew each other and about every problem in the village. There was a bakery that was popular for its delicious bread.
One day, a poor old man was walking along the street. When he passed, the bakery, he stopped to smell the scent of the bread being emitted.
Suddenly, the baker caught the old man and shouted at him, demanding the price of the bread's scent. He almost dragged him to the police.
A very famous wise man named Junha heard the baker shouting. So, he approached him and asked about the problem. Junha stood calmly listening to the baker, as he thought about a solution.
After a few minutes, Junha's eyes glistened and an amused smile was on his face. He asked the baker, "How much money do you want?" The baker and the poor man were astonished, but the baker answered, "3 dinars." Junha took the money out of his wallet andput it in his pocket and shook the money. "Did you hear the sound of the money?" Junha asked. "Yes,
I did," the baker replied and with a big smile Junha said, "Well then, this costs the same as your bread's scent."
