The couple Ranka and Banka were staunch devotees of god. They used to go to the forest to fetch wood everyday. One day while Ranka was moving a few steps ahead of Banka, he saw a gold coin lying on the ground. He thought his wife Banka might not become greedy on seeing it, therefore he started covering it with soil. By that time Banka too had reached there when she saw Ranka putting soil on the gold coin, she said to him," you are wasting your time by putting soil on the soil". Now Ranka felt that his wife is more detatched from worldy things than he is. In his viewpoint there was a difference between the soil and the gold coin which was costlier than soil. But for his wife both the soil and gold had the same value .
