A charitably disposed man had 3 chests of gold, silver, and copper respectively. His wife was uncharitable and ill-disposed. One day being pressed by a poor man, in the absence of her husband, she went to his chests and found them full with scorpions and insects. His “Good-eye” brings blessing; her “Evil-eye” a curse!!!
