Abstract: "Mayaman said to his friend, ""Which of us can make that wood-cutter rich?"" ""Even though I am much poorer than you,"" replied Mahirap,"" I can make him rich with just the few cents I have in my pocket. Some evil neighbors found out that the wood-cutter had plenty of money in the house, so during the night, they went softly inside the poor home and stole the bags of money. In the morning, the wood-cutter discovered the loss of his money. Three more times the rich man gave the wood-cutter bags of money, but no matter pow well the bags were hidden, the neighbors always found out and the wood-cutter remained as poor as ever. On the sixth time, Mayaman did not give the wood-cutter money. Mahirap had no money to give the wood-cutter. With his ring and his bags of money, the wood-cutter soon become the richest man in the town.
