baker decided to weigh the butter to see if he was getting a pound and
he found that he was not. This angered him and he took the farmer to
court. The judge asked the farmer if he was using any measure. The
farmer replied, amour Honor, I am primitive. I don't have a proper
measure, but I do have a scale." The judge asked, "Then how do you
weigh the butter?" The farmer replied "Your Honor, long before the
baker started buying butter from me, I have been buying a pound loaf of
bread from him. Every day when the baker brings the bread, I put it on
the scale and give him the same weight in butter. If anyone is to be
blamed, it is the baker."
What is the moral of the story? We get back in life what we give to
others. Whenever you take an action, ask yourself this question: Am I
giving fair value for the wages or money I hope to make? Honesty and
dishonesty become a habit. Some people practice dishonesty and can lie
with a straight face. Others lie so much that they don't even know what
the truth is anymore. But who are they deceiving? Themselves
