THE GREEDY DOCTOR

There was an herb doctor in Korea, who was famous for his ability and also
for his greed.
Once, he cured a child of a difficult disease and as a token of her gratitude, the child's mother
presented the doctor with a pretty silky wallet. The woman said,"Sir, I made it myself.
Please accept it."
Shaking his head, the doctor said harshly, "I don't accept my fee in kind. Give me cash."
The woman felt hurt and humiliated. She asked , "How much should I pay you?"
" Five nyang,"said the doctor.
Without a word, the mother took ten nyang out of the silk wallet, handed them to the doctor,
and left with the rest of the ten nyang she had brought in the wallet to give him.
