One day, a man was traveling to another city. On the way, some robbers attacked him. They took his clothes, beat him badly, and left him lying on the road almost dead.
Later, a priest walked along the same road. When he saw the man lying there, he did not stop to help. He crossed to the other side and kept walking. Soon after, another religious man also came down the road. He saw the hurt man too, but he avoided him and did not help.
Then, a stranger from another country traveled on that road. When he saw the man, he felt very sorry for him. The stranger went to him, cleaned his wounds, and wrapped them with cloth. He carried the hurt man in his animal and took him to an inn. At the inn, the stranger cared for him through the night.
The next day, the stranger gave money to the inn worker. He said, “Please take care of this man. If you spend more, I will pay you when I come again.”
