Gold Coins

Based on the writings of Ari in "The Tree of Life," p 125, Branch no. 5

Once a king wished to send
A large sum of gold coins
To his son,
Who was on a faraway island.

But alas, all the people in his kingdom
Were thieves and crooks
And he had no trusted servants.

What did he do?

He exchanged the coins
For small change
And sent the money
To his son,
Borne by many servants.

In this way, such a theft
Would not be worth
Blemishing the honor
Of the kingdom.
