A Short Story

A wealthy young man was walking to the store, a smart poor man spotted him.
"Please give me some money," said the poor man.
"No, I can't. My wife is very strict on money," lied the man. The poor man knew he was lying.
 "I am so sorry," apologized the poor man. 
The wealthy man didn't even thank him. He bought three big pieces of bread, and got into his car. A piece of bread fell out. And some birds ate it all. So the man went and bought another big piece. The poor man saw him.
"I thought you said your wife was strict," said the poor man.
"I'll have to tell her one fell down," replied the man.
"Wont she think you bought something with the money instead?" asked the poor man.
"No, she knows I never lie," lied the man again.
"Does your wife even know the definition of 'truth'?" asked the poor man.
With that, the man hit the poor man so hard the poor man died.
He went home.
"Hello, why are you so late?" asked the confused wife.
"Because the motor broke down," lied the man.
Just as he finished his sentence, his wife died.
After that, he promised himself that he would be a better person.
