    The wise man lived in a small village. Despite the hardships of life, he was content and lived happily, sharing his wisdom with everyone.

    Despite his wealth, the rich man was always unhappy. He looked at the wise man's simple life and wondered why he was always content.

    One day, the rich man visited the wise man's house. He was surprised to see the simplicity and the calm environment of the wise man's house.

    'Why are you so happy in this simple life?' the rich man asked. The wise man smiled and replied, 'Because I have peace of mind.'

    The wise man then visited the rich man's mansion. He saw the richness everywhere, but he could also feel the emptiness in the rich man's heart.

    'You have everything yet you are unhappy,' the wise man commented. The rich man nodded, 'I have wealth, but I lack peace.'

    'I see a day well spent, another chance to be better tomorrow,' the wise man replied. The rich man was quiet, pondering the wise man's words.

    The rich man started contemplating his life. He realized that his constant pursuit of wealth had made him lose his peace and happiness.
