A rat swallowed a diamond and the owner of the diamond contracted a man to kill the rat. When the rat hunter arrived to kill the rat, there were more than a thousand rats bunched up, and one sitting by itself away from the pack.
He killed the one sitting by itself and that was the exact one that had swallowed the diamond.
The owner of the diamond was amazed and asked the hunter, “How did you know it was that rat that swallowed my diamond?”
“Very easy,” the hunter smiled. “When idiots get rich they don’t mix with old friends.”
MORALS
When God blesses you, maintain your normal profile with your ‘poor’ old friends. When your hustle yields results, don’t be proud. Remember, all that you ever have are given to you by God, try not to get Him angry through your arrogance.
