An old wise man was sitting on a branch on the outskirts of a small village in Northern India. A traveler passing by approached him and asked, "Sir, how are the people in this village? I am planning to migrate

From my village and settle in some good village�"

The old man asked him " How are the people in your village?" The traveler replied," Very Selfish, rigid and cunning��.." The wise man promptly told him, " Young man, in this village also you will only find cunning, self and rigid people!"

A little later, another traveler was passing by. He too asked the same question to the old man. The old man asked him " How are the people in your village?" The traveler answered, �The people in my village are very loving, kind and generous." The old man replied back, "�then you will also find the same kind people here��"
