Long ago, there was a rich man with a disease in his eyes. For many years, the pain was so great that he could not sleep at night. He saw every doctor he could, but none of them could help him.
"What good is all my money?" he groaned.
Finally, he became so desperate that he sent criers through the city offering a reward to anyone who could cure him.
Now, in that city, lived an old candy peddler. He would walk around selling his baskets of candy, but he was so kindhearted he gave away as much as he sold, so he was always poor.
