The title of the story is a judge who shared wisdom. Long long ago in a village, there was a rich man who was very rich. He was a full-grown man and had a lot of money. He had gold cups and silver cups. One day, he had to go on a journey so he worried to leave his gold cups and silver cups at the house. Thus, he was thinking that whom he should entrust. And, there was an old man and the rich man thought that he could trust the old man. So, the rich man went to the old man and said that "Please keep these cups for me. I will come back soon. I will take back my cups when I back. Can I entrust my cups to you?" "It is OK, no problem. I will keep it for you. Leave it. You just go where you need to go and come back," the old man said. Then, the rich man left his properties to the old man and left for his journey. His journey lasted about four and five months. When the rich man backed, he went to the old back and asked to take back his cup but the old man did not want to give it back to the rich man as it were the gold and silver cups. The old man just did not want to give back because he really wanted to have it. So, he refused the rich man that "No, I can't give you. I think you are asking the wrong person. You think well again and ask other people." "No, grandpa, I left my cups with you here. How could that be the wrong person," the rich man said. But, the old man kept refusing so the rich man thought and went to a judge and said that "The old man concealed the truth to take my gold and silver cups. Please resolve this problem for me." The judge then said that "So, don't tell anyone about you came and told me. You just still stay silently yourself." "Yes, OK," the rich man said and was staying himself. One day, the judge went to the old man and said that "Hi mate, you are a trustworthy person in this village. I just see you as a trustworthy person. I am worried that other people will lie to me. As we were friends for a long time ago, I trust you. Can I entrust you my two boxes of gold and silver? Would it be possible?" "Yes, it is OK," the old man said. The judge said that "If so, I will ask my men to send you the day after tomorrow." "Yes, OK. Send it," the old man said. The old man thought to himself at night that. "Hmm...I think gold and silver boxes are more valueable than gold cups and silver cups. If the rich man tells the judge about this, the judge won't come and entrust me. I should take more value things." Then, the rich man went again to the judge and said that "Judge, what should I do now?" The judge then said that "OK, now you go again to the old man and ask your gold and silver cups. Tell him that you would tell me if he doesn't give you back." So, the rich man went to the old man and said that "Grandpa, I left you my cups. Think again well this time. If you don't give me back this time, I will report to the judge." "Wait wait wait... Don't go and tell the judge. I was just kidding you to know how you will react to me," the old man said and gave back to the rich man the gold and silver cups. "Don't go and tell the judge anymore. I am just kidding as we are friendly," the old man said and gave it back to the rich man. Then, the old man was waiting for the judge to come and entrust the boxes of gold and silver but since the judge did not come to him, the old man went to the judge and said that "Hi judge, don't you need to travel anymore? You said that you will come to me and leave your gold and silver boxes. That's why I was waiting for you. Don't you come and entrust to me?" The judge then said that "Gentleman, I loathe your attitude. You just want to get other's properties for free and conceal them. You are the one who wants to breathe with another person's nose. I did not have a plan to travel. I just told you because you wanted to take the gold cups and silver cups of the rich man. This time we will forgive you as we are friendly. If you do again next time, you will be punished seriously." The old man was shied and returned home.
