Once upon a time, there was a rich village. In the village lived a wealthy man, but he was narrow-hearted and devoid of generosity. His name was Temirbay. Temirbay's house was filled with gold, silver, and precious stones, but he never helped anyone and only focused on accumulating his wealth. The villagers feared him because Temirbay's lack of generosity and humility terrified them.
One day, a poor man named Abil came to the village. Abil, weary from his journey and weakened by hunger, approached Temirbay's house and asked for help. Temirbay, without even glancing at the poor man, mockingly replied, "What, do you want to eat my wealth?" Abil, feeling hurt, had to leave, but he did not hold a grudge against Temirbay. "Generosity is the greatest wealth," he thought.
Several days passed, and Temirbay's wealth became bare. One day, a raven landed on him, trying to steal gold from Temirbay's treasure. Temirbay, terrified, shouted, "Save me!" But no one heard him.
The poor Abil returned and, hearing Temirbay's cries, decided to help him. He ran to Temirbay's house and asked, "What happened?" Temirbay replied, "There is a raven trying to steal my wealth!" Abil was ready to help Temirbay, but he knew of his stinginess. "Perhaps I will help you, but what will I get in return?" he asked.
Temirbay promised, "I will reward you with gold!" Abil agreed, and the two confronted the raven. They fought together and eventually chased the raven away. Temirbay was filled with joy but did not forget Abil's help. "I don't know how I will reward you," Temirbay said, "But I will never forget you!"
After a few days, Temirbay decided to give gold to the poor man. But Abil, smiling at Temirbay, said, "My wealth is the kindness in my heart. Your wealth is not just money and things, but generosity." Temirbay was moved by Abil's words and felt the warmth and kindness in his own heart.
From then on, Temirbay began to change. He returned to the village, trying to help people, support orphans, and assist the poor. He shared his money and wealth, understanding the true essence of generosity. The villagers saw Temirbay's transformation and began to respect him.
Temirbay understood well that the true meaning of wealth lies not in money, but in kindness and generosity. He thanked the poor Abil, and they decided to become friends and do many good deeds together.
From that day on, Temirbay became a generous man and realized that the true wealth of the village was the kindness in people's hearts and their willingness to help one another. The villagers loved and respected Temirbay because he was truly rich – with his generosity and kindness.
The moral of the story: True wealth is not just in money and possessions, but is reflected in kindness, generosity, and helping others. Being rich is about the breadth of the heart and being ready to help others.
