"So rich the king is said to seek his golden aid in affairs of the treasury," Kobbireplied. "So rich," Bansir interrupted, "I fear if I should meet him in thedarkness of the night, I should lay my hands upon his fat wallet.""Nonsense," reproved Kobbi, "a man's wealth is not in the purse he carries. Afat purse quickly empties if there be no golden stream to refill it. Arkad hasan income that constantly keeps his purse full, no matter how liberally hespends.""Income, that is the thing," ejaculated Bansir. "I wish an income that will keepflowing into my purse whether I sit upon the wall or travel to far lands. Arkadmust know how a man can make an income for himself. Dost suppose it issomething he could make clear to a mind as slow as mine?""Methinks he did teach his knowledge to his son, Nomasir," Kobbi responded."Did he not go to Nineveh and, so it is told at the inn, become, without aidfrom his father, one of the richest men in that city?""Kobbi, thou bringest to me a rare thought." A new light gleamed in Bansir'seyes. "It costs nothing to ask wise advice from a good friend and Arkad wasalways that. Never mind though our purses be as empty as the falcon's nest ofa year ago. Let that not detain us. We are weary of being without gold in themidst of plenty. We wish to become men of means. Come, let us go to Arkadand ask how we, also, may acquire incomes for ourselves."Thou speakest with true inspiration, Bansir. Thou bringeth to my mind a newunderstanding.Thou makest me to realize the reason why we have never found any measureof wealth. We never sought it. Thou hast labored patiently to build thestaunchest chariots in Babylon. To that purpose was devoted your bestendeavors. Therefore, at it thou didst succeed. I strove to become a skillfullyre player. And, at it I did succeed."In those things toward which we exerted our best endeavors we succeeded.The Gods were content to let us continue thus. Now, at last, we see a light,bright like that from the rising sun. It biddeth us to learn more that we mayprosper more. With a new understanding we shall find honourable ways toaccomplish our desires."18Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
"Let us go to Arkad this very day," Bansir urged, "Also, let us ask other friendsof our boyhood days, who have fared no better than ourselves, to join us thatthey, too, may share in his wisdom.""Thou wert ever thus thoughtful of thy friends, Bansir. Therefore hast thoumany friends. It shall be as thou sayest. We go this day and take them withus."19Brought To You Byhttp://TheDiamondsMine.com
