The Landlord's Snobbery Was Deeper Than His Pockets

A rich landlord hired hundreds of local villagers to work his land. He was so disdainful of the villagers that he never talked to them. Meanwhile, down in the lush and fertile fields, the villagers had no shortage of curiosity about their boss. The clever fellow spoke up: I'll bet i could finag my way into the landlord's mansion and sit down with him for a meal. But what if you don't have lunch with the landlord? Then i will give you everything i own. It isn't much, but it will be yours.
