Aesop and disinterest in making money

The Aesop won great fame for his talent and because the rich find it beneficial to invest in advertising it.

An Aesop fable (1) that a miser all goods exchanged for gold coins and put them in a chest buried in a secret place.

Every day he went to visit the fortune accumulated in his life and dreamed of doing this or that using the real possibilities that allowed this enormous capital.

Someone who observed the behavior of the miser, bided his time and stole the treasure.

We can imagine the grief of the miser when it found that all their projects, dreams and possibilities were gone forever.

A neighbor, sorry for the grief of the miser, gave a very clever solution, saying, "Since none of your projects realistic thought put into practice because only atinabas to dream with them, put a brick in the gap left by the thief and imagine that this is your chest with gold. "

Unfortunately the miser not comforted looking brick.

Comments:

1) Some rejoice seeing what they have accomplished, whether it's the material wealth, as family around them, and the prestige they have sown in the group to which they belong;

2) On the contrary, some rejoice just imagining that could have achieved the same fortune, the same family and the same prestige.

The neighbor who suggested putting a brick for the hood, belongs to this group of dreamers who dispense comfortably as material reality to imagine them enough;

3) That the character is a nasty miser realistic allows to understand that fame of Aesop's because his talent and patronage of the wealthy who need the existence of many poor, imaginative and dreamy disinterested in fighting to make money.
