Once upon a time a ship carrying merchants and all their goods sailed over the sea, and among the passengers was a teacher. The mer­chants began to talk about the wares which they carried with them, and what they intended to buy. Finally they asked the teacher what merchandise he had, and he answered: “I carry all my goods with me.” The merchants searched the whole ship for his wares, for they thought that he had precious stones, but they could find nothing. So they laughed at him and said that he had no merchandise at all. The teacher replied:

“Why are you laughing at me? The goods which I carry are of greater value than any which you have in the ship’s hold.”

As they continued traveling on the high seas, they were attacked by pirates, who robbed them of all the merchandise which they had in the ship. When they landed, they found themselves quite poor and had nothing to eat or drink or any clothes to put on. The teacher, however, went into the town and entered the bet hamidrash (House of Study). When the people heard him speak wonders of Scriptures, they at once brought him clothes and gave him a large amount of money. The good people of the town also followed him out of the city.

When the merchants saw the great honor which was shown to the Jewish teacher, they begged his pardon for having laughed at him, and asked him to request the townspeople to give them something to eat so that they might not die of hunger, for he had seen that they had been robbed of their property.  And the teacher replied:

“Did I not tell you that my merchandise was more valuable than yours? For you have lost your property, but mine is still with me. Furthermore, one who buys and sells does not always gain, sometimes he gains and sometimes he loses, and even when he gains he is not sure that the profit will remain with him, but the Torah remains forever, in this world and in the next. I was right, therefore, about the goods which I had with me.”
