Today's Begger

A man walks past a beggar every day and gives him Rs.
10 and that Continues for a year. Then suddenly the
daily donation changes to Rs. 7.50

"Well," the beggar thinks, "it's still better than
nothing."

A year passes in this way until the man's daily
donation suddenly becomes Rs. 5.

"What's going on now?" the beggar asks his donor.
"First you give me Rs. 10 every day, then Rs. 7,50 and
now only Rs. 5. What's the problem?"

"Well," the man says, "last year my eldest son went to
university. It's very expensive, so I had to cut
costs. This year my eldest daughter also went to
university, so I had to cut my expenses even further."

"And how many children do you have?" the beggar asks.

"Four," the man replies.

"Well," says the beggar, "I hope you don't plan to
educate them all at my expense."
