In a small village, there lived two friends Anthony and Colin. Their friendship was unusual. Their characters were opposite yet they were close friends. Anthony was very dishonest at heart while Colin was a very honest man.
One day, Anthony said to Colin, “Why don’t we start a business together?” Colin agreed and so the two set off together to a nearby city to set up and start their business.
After a few months, the two friends had made enough money. They started back together to their own village. On the way back, they had to pass through a forest. That night when they stopped to take a rest, Anthony decided to keep all the money for himself. He spent the whole night planning and at daybreak he had an evil plan ready in his mind.
When they were about to resume their journey, Anthony turned to Colin and said, “You know, I have been thinking. We have made a lot of money. Maybe it is not wise to take all the money back to the village. Let us bury (埋) all the money here. We can come back together whenever we need money and take out as much as we need.”
“That is an excellent idea,” agreed Colin. They buried the money at the foot of a huge tree and went on to their homes in the village. That night, Anthony went back to the forest secretly and dug out all the money and closed up the hole again.
The next morning, he went to Colin’s house and said, “I need some money. Let us go and bring some of our money back.”
They both went to the tree and began to dig. Not finding any money, Anthony said Colin took it.
