Bansir was a hardworking chariot builder who barely scraped by.  One day his best friend Kobbi came by to borrow some money.  He found Bansir staring into the distance, truly discouraged. Bansir was trying to figure out why they are so poor even though they lived in the richest city in the world, build the finest chariots and worked hard all their lives. There must be a secret.  They have an old friend who grew up with them that is said to be the richest man in Babylon.  Maybe they should ask him for advice.  Bansir made the joke that he may just grab that fat wallet if he sees it, but Kobbi pointed out that a fat wallet soon empties if there is no income stream to refill it.  Bansir suddenly realised, they succeeded in those things they put their minds too.  He is one of the best Chariot builders and Kobbi a great musician.  Maybe the reason why they never acquired wealth is because they never sought it.  They decided to gather their friends and go see Arkad.
