There once was a poor fisherman and he who was at sea one day when he found a particularly heavy catch. He wondered what riches that this big fish might bring, so he used all his might to pull up his fishing line. He pulled and pulled with all the might he could muster with a stomach that was a chasm of emptiness. I finally pulled up his catch, but it turned out not to be a fish, a whale, or a squid, but rather a curious looking box that had a huge metal clasp that locked the box, but compared the box itself, it seemed more like a speck of dust. The fisherman wondered in vain what this mysterious box could contain, but it was so heavy he could not sit near to it to prevent the boat from tipping over. He had moved all his tools and provisions to one side of the boat and moved the box to the other side. He hurried home so that he could final find out what this box had stored inside it.
Once the fisherman got to the shore, he dragged the box home while people all pointed and ogled at his interesting box. The fisherman reached his little wooden house and he bolted the door, closed the shutters on the windows. Then he lit some candles and wiped off the debris that covered the box. Now that he was able to get a close look, he found that there were ornate carvings into the wood on the box. He tried to open the metal lock and with greater ease then he expected since it was rusted from the water. Inside he found a horde of treasure.

The next day, he asked his friend how he should use his money. They told him that he should spend it all so that there would not be any left over for people to steal. They also told him to buy a better house, boat, clothes, and hire people to help him fish so that he can start his own port. His friends meant very well and did not have the slightest though of harming him at all. He took their advice into great consideration. Once he bought all of those things, he still had a little bit more of his treasure left over so he just managed to build his own little port.

Soon he started to ignore his friends more and more because they were not on the same social status and he gained more rich friends. They gave him a lot of advice about how to become more and more prosperous and helped him all the way. One day he went to his prosperous port and he found that everything was gone. He immediately went to the meeting and he found that one of his rich friends stole everything he had so he hurried home and found that it had been sold. He cried so deeply and asked for the help of his original friends but they gave him no heed since he abandoned them to begin with. When you follow the advice from mouths that are false, you lost what you really treasure.
