One of the members of the Rothschild family spent a weekend on a small farm in the country. When the owner gave him his bill he was startled to see the amount he was charged.
"What?" Rothschild exclaimed in surprise. "Four francs for an egg? Have you such a scarcity of eggs?"
"Not a scarcity of eggs," replied the owner, "but a scarcity of Rothschilds."
Funny. But not right. The Torah explicitly states that we should not favor the poor over the rich and vive versa. All must be treated equally.
