This is something I heard in Jerusalem.
A poor man is taken into the mansion of a rich man who invites him to sit and eat. The rich man summons his servants with a little bell and commands them to bring in a lavish meal.
When the meal is over the rich man rings his little bell and asks for the finest desert wines to be brought in, along with the finest cigars.
When the evening is drawing to a close, the rich man asks the poor man what he would like to take home with him of all the riches he sees in the room.
And the poor man asks for the little bell.
