One day, a poor man was walking on the side walk, in a haste to go to work. His clothes and shoes were in tatters as the bottom of his shoes was falling apart. Driving by at the time, was a rich man. The rich man glance over in his mirrors curiously and saw the man, he felt a connection at first glance, so he pulled his car over to the side and got out of the car. He walked up the man and said, " Why are your shoes like this?" The poor man was scared of the sudden emergence of the rich man, but hearing the rich man words, he answered. " I'm working multiple jobs and have to support my wife and two children just to get by. I would rather give what i have now to my family, because in the future there might not be anything i can give them."

Hearing the poor man's word, the rich felt touch, so he reach into his pocket and pull out his wallet. When he opened the wallet, one could see bungles of hundred dollar bills tied up with a rubber band. The rich man pull off the rubber band and give it to the man saying, " Here, take this rubber band and tied up you shoes!" After giving the shocked man the rubber band, the rich man left.
