16: Effort<br />

Jā 4 Cullaseṭṭhijātakaṁ<br />

Rags to Riches<br />

A young man, starting with a dead mouse, is<br />

careful in his trading and in making friends, and<br />

so by and by he makes his fortune.<br />

312. Appakena pi medhāvī pābhatena Vicakkhaṇo,<br />

Samuṭṭhāpeti attānaṁ, aṇuṁ aggiṁ va sandhamaṁ.<br />

Even with a little, a Wise One,<br />

By virtue <strong>of</strong> a good present,<br />

Can raise himself up much higher,<br />

Like a small wind can raise a fire.<br />
