Once there was a poor man who had nothing.
One day, he had a dream: it seemed that he had seventy sheep and wanted to sell them.
A merchant came and offered him five silver coins for each sheep. The sheep owner asked for six.
During the bargaining, the poor man woke up and was filled with regret. He immediately closed his eyes and stretched out his hands to the merchant, saying, “Give me two silver coins for each, and I’ll sell them to you!”
