One one accasion, while residing at the Jetavana monastery in Savatthi, the Buddha spoke to monks about an old brahmin who used to be his friend. In Savatthi city, an old Brahmin had four children and eight hundred thousand of the wealth. When his wife passed away, he lived with his four children happily. One day, the children told him that they would take care of him until he die, but he has to divide the wealth for them. When the old brahmin heard that, he decided to divide all the treasures into 4 parts and gave them to all 4 children. Because the children had received the treasure from the father, they moved to another places, no one cared and looked after him.
