there was once a simple farmer yeah
there was once a simple farmer and he
arranged to sell all of his wheat to a
certain wholesaler okay he's going to
take his St he's going to go this one
guy he's going to sell all of his stuff
to him now there were many many stocks
he was a big farmer he was a simple
farmer but a big farmer very large and
he had a lot of wheat a lot of Stack a
lot of stuff stalks so what did he do he
said like this the the wholesaler told
him he said every time you give me a
stock of wheed or whatever it is that
you give a certain amount I'm going to
put a penny in a bowl okay because I see
this there's hundreds of dunkeys and
horses here carrying your stuff I to
keep let's just we'll keep a bowl here
and we're going to put pennies in
it after we're done and after we count
all we'll count the pennies and then for
each penny I'll give you $100 $200
whatever it costs for that stock and
like this you'll be able to do the thing
we'll exchange it full price very nice
anyways as the days go on the
bull how you doing it's getting more and
more he even put a quarter in he ran out
of pennies he put some quarters in and
you know the farmer you know he he
couldn't take his eyes off that pile
he's
like he put a few quarters in there it's
like a dollar it's like a slice of
pizzas back in the day when pizza was a
dollar maybe I should uh I'm not going
to steal it because maybe I should steal
it I'm not going to steal it maybe I'll
borrow it should I borrow without asking
maybe I'll and he's thinking this that
back and forth what should he do anyways
one day the farmer could not contain
himself anymore he was done with his
evil inclination and his good
inclination he's like I'm done when the
wholesaler's back turned for a second he
took his hand he's like yeah slow motion
grabbed his hand the pile took a whole
pile of quarters and pennies shoved in
his pocket and was like with s nothing
happen in the air nothing happened here
man and that's it
nothing took a whole thing now man dude
dumb is not with the you don't pronounce
the b in dumb in then what what are you
doing you you just lost hundreds of
dollars you just gave up so
much because you were in control of your
own fortune you're like I'm going to
work I'm I'm going to steal it so I
could be richer I want to I W
to says with this mush it shows that
even though this foolish farmer thought
that he was
gaining he was really only cheating
himself cuz look what he lost so to
somebody who works on chabas or somebody
who does things that he's not supposed
to do will ultimately see no gain yeah
he may be you know G and thinks like oh
I made a small fortune you don't
understand how much money I made but in
the long run what you're going to
receive one day you don't really
understand what you're going to get no
you don't you just literally took a
whole bunch of pennies it could be
pennies are different in your life when
you worked on shabas and you did your
thing but you are giving up so much in
the long run now I want to open this up
a little bit not just the shabas not
just the shabas it's the same idea with
everything in life when a person goes
against against Hashem and a person
doesn't dress the way they're supposed
to dress a person doesn't say things the
way they're supposed to say a person
cheats on certain things that he's not
supposed to cheat and a person goes to
places a person smokes certain things
you're right right now you are gaining a
small fortune by enjoying the L by
looking cuz you're not dressed the way
you're supposed to dress by watching
that even though you are not supposed to
watch that but but in the long run you
are giving up so much more than what you
could be getting so much
more because you're grabbing pennies RAB
say now you're right there is theur here
right the farmer couldn't contain
himself it was just too much but
ultimately you're giving up so
much this is a very powerful idea the
next time you want to go against Hashem
or the next time you feel like you're
tempted tell theara dude I'm making an
investment here I'm not I'm going to
wait but it's taking so long for the
pennies to end until we count the
pennies until you pay me $5 million it
takes so long I might as well grab
$4 no no you no no you shouldn't but
it's hard cuz the are is
strong
