Two men arrive at a village together. One rides in a chauffeur-driven limousine and the other on a rickety bicycle. Their stations in life are as far apart as the north pole from the south. One has everything money can buy, the other possesses only the clothes he wears and the old contraption he pedals.
The proprietor of the village inn rushes out to welcome the man in the limousine. As the wealthy man is alighting from his posh vehicle, he notices the poor man, who happens to be cycling past.
"My friend," the rich man calls out to the other, "I would gladly exchange this limousine for your bicycle -- if I could learn to ride it. And you know I mean it from the bottom of my heart."
The poor man on the bicycle nods sympathetically. Then, as a gesture of kindness, he alights from his bicycle and helps the rich man into his wheelchair.
