Short Story: Gold Coins and a Selfish Man!
Sam was a greedy and selfish man. He always desired to have lots and lots of money and never hesitated to cheat others to make money. Also, he never wished to share anything with others. He paid very low wages to his servants.
However, one day, he learned a lesson that changed his life forever.
It so happened that one day, a small bag that belonged to Sam was missing. The bag had 50 gold coins in it. Sam searched high and low for the bag, but could not find it. Sam’s friends and neighbours also joined in the search, but all their efforts were in vain.
After a couple of days, the ten year old daughter of a man working for Sam found the bag. She told her father about it. Her father identified the bag as the one that was missing, and immediately decided to take it to his master.
He gave the bag back to his master Sam, and asked him to check whether the bag had 50 gold coins. Sam was exultant to get the coins back, but he decided to play a trick. He shouted at his worker, “there were 75 gold coins in this bag but you gave me only 50! Where are the other coins? You have stolen them!”
The worker was shocked to hear this and pleaded his innocence. Selfish and greedy, Sam did not accept the worker’s story, and decided to take the issue to court.
The judge heard both the sides. He questioned the daughter and the worker about the number of coins they had found in the bag, and they assured it was only 50.
He cross-examined Sam and Sam replied, “Yes my lord, I had 75 gold coins in my bag, and they gave me only 50. Hence, it is quite obvious that they have stolen 25 coins!”
The judge then asked, “Are you sure that your bag had 75 coins?”
Sam nodded vigorously.
The judge then made his judgment.
“Since Sam lost a bag of 75 gold coins and the bag found by the girl had only 50 coins, it is obvious that the bag that was found does not belong to Sam. It was lost by someone else. If anyone finds a bag of 75 gold coins, I will declare that it belongs to Sam. As there are no complaints about the loss of 50 coins, I order the girl and his father to take those 50 coins as a token of appreciation for their honesty!”
Moral: Honesty will always be rewarded and greed punished!

Teacher of the week: Ms. Kay Taylor
I have always wanted to do something that made a difference in the world. As Hillary Clinton said, “It takes a village” to raise a child. Teachers are members of that village. I feel I can make an important contribution in some way by helping educate you, the future leaders and citizens of our country.
-Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
I will be retired from teaching but perhaps working in some kind of part-time job and enjoying life in general.
-Whatis your favorite things about summer?
Having some time off to recharge and rejuvenate are my favorite summer-time past-times. I do not like the heat and humidity, however. Fall and spring, even winter, are more to my liking. I hibernate in air conditioned areas during the summer.
-What has been your biggest challenge from teaching?
Having good manners is a very important characteristic to have in our culture. Good manners make our society work smoothly. When students or co-workers are not using their best manners, I find that challenging.
-What are your hobbies outside of teaching?
I love plants, gardening, decorating, and antiquing. I work at and have a small booth at the Daphne Antique Galleria, so I have a lot of fun with that. And of course, spending time with my small dog Li”l Bit (a Maltese) makes me happy, too. Doing things with my sister who lives in Fairhope is a benefit of living here. It’s nice to have family nearby.
