Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
There, once, was a stingy baker. A poor man would stand outside his bakery every day, enjoying the nice smell of baking bread. The baker was very angry at the poor man. He felt that anyone who smelled his delicious products should pay for the smell. So he took the poor man to the court.
The judge heard the baker’s complaint patiently. Then he asked the poor man, Do you have any money?
The poor man searched his pocket and produced two small coins. This is all the money I have, he said to the judge.
The judge took the coins from the poor man. The baker smiled and eagerly held out his hand.
But the judge did not give the baker the money. He only jingled the coins together. He then returned them to the poor man, saying, Punishment should fit the crime. The price for the smell of bread shall be the sound of money.
