Timeless lesson on wealth

A well-known Scottish proverb, " The father buys, the son builds, the grandchild sells, and his son begs" , is undeniably a timeless lesson about wealth, family fortunes, and even financial discipline.  This age-old saying reflects how wealth collected by one generation can gradually disappear when later generations fail to keep, manage or grow it.  This can be directly correct in view of that country's experience. Such a marked disposition does not appear in India if we try to analyse it. There are so many instances in our great country where the careless son wastes all the wealth of his father.

When one seller disclosed the rate, not all present there were wholly pacified in any plausible way. They were thus aiming at enough profit. 

Meanwhile, an elderly man said that the mangoes were sold at a much cheaper rate at Ramadevi market. 

Others also looked a bit more surprised at the increased rate. They began to narrate that the mangoes were selling at a much cheaper rate in the rural areas.
