Arab Female Beggars
There is a notable female author in Japan.
Decades ago, she traveled to an Arab country and happened to visit a certain influential business man. While she was talking with the Arab rich man, a young female beggar came to the office. The businessman gave her a dollar or so. The Japanese woman observed that the beggar had a gold wristband in one of her arms.
Then after a while, another female beggar also came to the office. The Arab man gave her five dollars or so. The Japanese woman observed that the beggar had a few gold wristbands around her arms.
So, the Japanese female author asked the man why he had bestowed different amounts of money to the two beggars. The man answered that he had to give money according to status of each beggar.
The Japanese author, who happened to be a Catholic, thought that she had learnt something important or interesting.
The teaching of Christ Jesus, however, seems to be "The more you are given, the more you are requested to give," but not "The more you have, the more you will be given."
