                Moscione the Fool










                     here was once a rich merchant who had the best of everything.

                     He had a grand house and lived in luxury. But, alas, his son
            T Moscione was rather a fool.


             Moscione just lay around all the time, daydreaming. The merchant joked that

             his son couldn’t tell a bean from a cucumber but, deep down, he suspected it
             was true.


             One day, tired of seeing his simpleton son doing nothing again, he gave him

             a wallet filled with money and said, “Son, it’s time for you to stop lazing about.
             Go and see the world. Go and make a living.”
