Then answer each question.  \nFortune and the Poor Man  \nOne day a ragged man was creeping along from house to house. He carried an old wallet in his hand and was asking at every door for money to buy something to eat. As he wasgrumbling at his misfortune, he kept wondering why it was that folks who had so much money were never satisfied and  \nwere always wanting more.  \n“I know of one man,” said he, “who was a  \ngood businessman, and he worked very hard and made himself wondrously rich along time ago. Had he been wise, this man would have used his fortune to take care of himself and his family.  \nWhat did he do instead? He wanted more money. He always wanted more money. He built ships and sent them to sea to trade with foreign lands. He thought he would get mountains of gold. He wanted to be the richest man in the world.”  \nReading and Math for K-5 © [www.k5learning.com](www.k5learning.com)  \n“However, there were great storms on the water; his ships  \nwere wrecked, and his riches were swallowed up by the waves. Now all his hopes lie atthe bottom of the sea, and his great wealth has vanished.”  \n“There are many such cases. Men seem to never be satisfied unless they gain the whole world.”  \n“As for me, if I had only enough to eat and to buy clothing, I would not want anything more.”  \nJust at that moment, Fortune came down the street. She saw the poor man and stopped. She said to him:  \n“Listen! I have long wished to help you. Hold your wallet, and I will pour this gold into it, but only on this condition: all that falls into the wallet shall be pure gold, but every piece that falls upon the ground shall become dust. Do you understand?”  \n“Oh, yes, I understand,” said the poor man.  \n“Then be careful,” said Fortune. “Your wallet is old, so do not load it too heavily.”  \nThe man was so glad that he could hardly wait. He quickly opened his wallet, and a stream of yellow dollars poured  \ninto it. The wallet grew heavy.  \n“Is that enough?” asked Fortune.  \n“Not yet.”  \n“Isn't it cracking?”  \n“Never fear.”  \nThe beggar's hands began to tremble. Ah, if the gold would only pour forever!  \n“You are the richest man in the world now!”  \n“Just a little more, add just a handful or two.”  \n“There, it's full. The wallet will burst.”  \n“But it will hold just a little more!”  \nAnother piece was added, and the wallet split. The treasure fell upon the ground and turned to dust. The man had nothing now but his empty wallet, and it was torn from top to bottom. He was as poor as before.  \nQuestions:  \n1. Why did the businessman lose all his money?  \na.
