WEALTHY, BUT POOR!?
Richman wanted to know how people behaved based on their work and status. So he and his secretary went to a town where people were poor. There they went to a bakery and asked for something to eat because they were hungry and poor. The shopkeeper refused and shouted at them.
They wandered here and there until they found an elderly woman working on the side of the road by the sewer. They went to her and asked for food, she looked at them and they looked thirsty and hungry
She took them to her little hut nearby and prepared the food for them. While she was preparing it, she inquired about their journey and realised that they had to travel a long distance
After preparing it, she asked them to wash their hands and they had lunch. When they were about to leave from their hut, she handed them a bag of rice and some sauce
When the rich man saw her gesture and concern, he felt humiliated and realised that people's behaviour depends on their status and work.
A few days later, some officials of his company came to the elderly woman and handed her a registered property document where she lived and promised to build the house and take care of her from then on.
