Mathematician’s Formula for Greatest Profit

Once in a town lived a very greedy rich man. Rich man ordered a big safe and he wanted to fill it with gold and jewels. So, one day he hired a mathematician to find the best way for him to make the greatest profit in everything he did.

Mathematician studied for months before he found the solution.

One night, Mathematician had a big smile on his face. Next day, he went to a rich man's house and said, “I found it..! My calculations are perfect..!”

Rich man didn’t have time to listen to him as he had to leave for a long journey. So he said to the mathematician,”I promise I will pay you double wages when I come back but only if you take charge of my business and put a new formula into practice.”

Mathematician was very excited because of his new formula, he delightedly accepted the proposal.

Months later when the rich man returned, he found that all his possessions had gone. He got furious and went to the mathematician to ask for an explanation. Mathematician calmly told him that he had given away everything to people in need. Rich man couldn’t believe it and was getting mad.

Mathematician explained to the rich man his formula, “I studied for months but every way which I found was always limited as there's a limit to how much one man can do by himself. Then I understood the key was that many people could help us to achieve the aim. So the conclusion was that helping others was the best way to get more and more people to benefit us.”

Rich man was disappointed and furious over the mathematician's act and went out. While he was walking away, several neighbors came to him looking worried about him. All of them were those who were helped by Rich man’s fortune.

They felt grateful to him and offered him to their houses. Over the next few days, Wherever he went he was received with great honor and everyone was willing to help him in whatever way they could.

Now, a rich man can see the results of what a mathematician had calculated. He realized that helping others with some now has given him much, much more.

In this way, he managed to quickly set up flourishing businesses, but this time he followed the brilliant mathematician’s advice. Now he no longer kept his money in safe hands, instead he shared out his fortune among people, whose hearts had converted into safest and grateful.

Moral: Helping Others and Sharing with Others give the Ultimate Happiness and Riches.

McDow Hole – Anatomy Of A Texas Ghost Story

Spooky Texas legend of the McDow Hole, where ghost sightings of pioneer woman Jenny Papworth and her baby have long been reported. Written by Bob Hopkins . I first heard the legendary tale of the Ghost of the McDow Hole in the fifteenth year of my youth. It was near Halloween in October 1975 when a friend related the tale of the ghost that haunts a creek bed in rural Erath County and naturally I believed every word of it in the twilight of an evening spent with friends telling ghost stories. I would again hear the tale over the years while living in North Central Texas. It wasn’t until my chance encounter of meeting an author of the legend in 2002 that my curiosity began to peak and like any good investigator I felt it my duty to dig deeper into the hundred year old tale of pioneer folklore to see how much of the story was true and how much was fabricated. I would discover many similarities in fact and fiction that I believed would leave any reader with the same curiosity t...

Mama Coon Coon: A Louisiana Swamp Folktale

Now I’ll just bet that none of you have ever heard the story of Mama Coon Coon and the blue waters of the bayou, have you? Well, we know the story, and I think we need to tell it to you right now. Once upon a time, the waters of the bayou were black – as black as ink. Now, even though these waters were black, they were still filled with lots and lots of fishes, shrimp and crab. And all of the fishermen would wake up early in the morning, long before the sun had even come above the horizon, and they would cast their nets down into the deep, black water. And what a wonderful sight it was at the end of the day to watch those fishermen pulling in their nets overflowing with all kinds of fishes, shrimp and crab. Dulac Louisiana Bayou by Clem .

You see, that is the name the local village children gav...

Belle Boyd, Confederate Spy

One warm spring day, I left my home in Washington, D.C. and took a long drive through the rolling, peaceful farm country in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley. I worked in the city as a tax accountant, but most of my co-workers didn’t know about my secret hobby – I was a Civil War collector. Ever since I was a child, I had collected old Civil War books, maps, clothing, and in later years, weapons. Now as a middle-aged man, my interest had grown to what some would call an obsession. Although it’s hard to believe today, this peaceful Virginia valley was the scene of some of the bloodiest battles of the war. Driving through this historic land not only satisfied my hunger for history, but calmed my nerves far away from the hustle and bustle of home. Some folks say that ghosts wander the earth in places where horrible deaths took place, their lives suddenly ripped away from them before they knew what happened. So it’s no wonder that so many Civil War ghost stories come from the Shenandoah V...
