There was a time when it was possible to live twice; however, one life would be spent in poverty and the other in wealth. The dilemma was which one should come first. Most people chose to become poor first so that they can return to be rich. But Pastore decided to come first as a rich person. While he was alive in his first life he mingled with those who were rich in their second life, he learnt the ways of success and profound intelligence. So he became very rich.

After his first life, he came to life again, this time armed with the residual knowledge of his first life, he mingled with the rich and agreed to serve them. In their quest to enjoy their wealth without any care gave Pastore the reins of their businesses. Pastore was very efficient in keeping the men wealthy. At the end of his second life, he was known not as a wealthy man but as the one who kept others wealthy. Thus he escaped the curse of poverty.

The lesson: do what you have to do now, so that you do not do it at a later time with some consequences.
