Here is a clue to the moral of this story. A scorpion wanted to cross a river. So ask the fox and fox said no. But later change his mind and took scorpion across river. Half way across the scorpion stung fox and killing them both. The fox asked why did you do what you did. Scorpion replied thst I am a scorpion

That sympathy doesn't equal kindness.

Also, that you can care for a scorpion all you like, it's nature will not change.

[Actor3]

You are the closest to the answer

[AviatorTom]

Beggar is a socialist who believes others will take care of him.

[Actor3]

Your close to the moral but he was a capitalist not socialist

[purplepoppy]

Help a man when he's in need and he'll remember you the next time he's in need.

[Actor3]

What if the begger a woman and it is a fisherwoman. Would your answer be the same?

[7vices]

Give a man a fish and he will be sated for a day.
Threaten a man with teaching him how to fish and you'll be rid of him

[Actor3]

The fisherman never threatened no one

[7vices]

Depends on your perspective, but he appearently didn't leave the beggar any choice. He just said "tomorrow, you work".

So are you, buddy. So are you

democrat financial plan... people love it but stop contributing

[andreasderjuengere]

It means that the beggar died from a seafood poisoning?

[Actor3]

He is still alive

[andreasderjuengere]

I see.
So the man must have figured out that the oceans are full of microplastics;
and also could have noticed that the common fishermen are regularly exploited by the fish traders whom they depend on.
So he could have decided - as he's used to freeloading already - that a career as a banker or real estates agent looks more promising.

[Actor3]

Your missing the message of the story or pararabell

[andreasderjuengere]

No... YOU are missing my counter-measure against populistic babble :D

[Actor3]

Clearly you are the beggar in the story and that is that.
Why on this site?

[andreasderjuengere]

I'm begging you (sic!) to not kick me out just because I'm non-conform.
Also: I'm not taking a beggar's position - but a philosophical one.
Afterthoughts on the 'moral of the story'
---> conformists don't bother to spell right. Heh heh
---> morals are relative
---> different cultures - different values

[Actor3]

If I decide to give the answer you will see you are wrong
