There was once a miser. He melted all his money into a block of gold and buried it in a pit. Every day he would dig it up and smile to see it. One night the gold-block was stolen. So, the miser was in tears. A friend of  his saw him weeping and said, " You should bury a stone in the pit and look  at it every day. you never spent money when you had it was it better then a  stone anyway?" 
It is a cause to be a miser.
