Vanity upon vanity

Life is vanity upon vanity because there is nothing we bring to this world and there is nothing we are going with so take it easy with yourself and the people around you.

Here is a story of a man who works so hard to make money and chooses to enslaved himself to money.

There was a man named Richard he is a very famous man well know all over the town and he travels a lot but there is something that spoilt Mr. Richard and the thing is stinginess, he doesn't joke with his money even with his family he doesn't use his money to joke with them.

Mr. Richard has two beautiful daughters they are graduates and his wife has a mini supermarket in front of their house, at first, his wife thought he's trying to discipline his children on how to spend money when they are in the university.

Not until when they finally graduate, they both look for work but they couldn't find any so they decided to go back to their father's company and their father accepted them of course but he never treat them as his kids at all.

The children of Mr. Richard are the ones collecting the smallest amount of salary at the company but they are not bothering due to what their mom always tell them, every morning when they are dressed and set for work their mother will call the two of them and tell them your father is a good man and he's just trying to let them know how it feels to make money.

And those two girls always agree with her because they believe she knows their father more than they do, until one day that one of Mr. Richard's staff got sick and it is not yet end of the month so one of the daughters went to his office to inform him (Mr. Richard) as their boss so that he can help the guy.

But Mr. Richard refuse to help his staff and he told his daughter that a businessman doesn't spend money anyhow so the sick staff should sort himself and resume back to work then when the month ends he will collect his salary to sort anyone he owes, such a heartless man and that's not all.

The daughter of Mr. Richard was shocked at her father's action and after work when they got home they both report their father to their mom and their mom said: your father is not a bad person maybe he's broke at the moment that is why I couldn't help and the two girls looked at each other's face and said ok mom but they both knew that their mom was just trying to patch up their father's wrongdoing and of course that's what a good mother should do.

After two months one of Mr. Richard's daughters had an accident on her way going to the office so she was rush to the hospital for treatment and when Mr. Richard got the information he quickly rush there as if he care so much when the doctor told him to go and make a deposit of $200 (#100,000) for the treatment to commence because the girl is in a critical condition, Mr. Richard says no that he is a businessman he can't just put down such amount of money like that, because it might affect his business growth.

His wife couldn't hold it and then she quickly ran to her shop to gather everything she has and gave it to the doctor so that they can start the treatment but Mr. Richard is still arguing with the doctor, after the treatment, the girl got better a little bit so they were to buy some expensive drugs to balance up her treatment but Mr. Richard made his wife understand that people are owning him so when they pay him they can start to buy the drugs for the girl, so the girl should manage with some pain relief drugs but his wife couldn't hold onto what her stingy husband said so she has to do something before the girl condition got worse back.

You all know that a mother will never sit at watch such a thing so she sold all her goods in the supermarket little by little to buy the drugs for the girl but Mr. Richard instead that it's a waste of money that the girl will eventually get better since she has been treated at the hospital.

What is the end of Mr. Richard? to be continued tomorrow, thanks for reading
