A poor student lived in a small room in a restaurant where the room was near to the kitchen. He had little money. The restaurant owner was mean and nobody liked him. But he cooked well, so there were still many people coming the restaurant.
One day the owner worked quietly in the kitchen. He heard the poor student was talking to his friend. The friend said, "You must be very unhappy living in such a small room, and always eating plain rice." The student answered,"Not really. I was busy with my study and paid little attention to the room. In fact the delicious smell coming from the kitchen makes the plain rice tasty."
Hearing these, the restaurant owners was very furious. He accused the student for stealing his smell and sent him to the court. When he told the judge what had happened, everyone laughed. Then the judge said,"Be quiet. Everyone has his right to complaint, and you, the student, is guilty.You must pay for the smell." The student was afraid, because he had little money. He handled out the only five coins in his pocket to the judge on his right hand. But the judge asked the student to falling the coins down to left hand. The court was quiet. Then everyone was hearing the tinkle of coins' falling. So the judge said to the owner,"You are paying for the smell."
