Once upon a time, there was a man named Tim who lived in a small village. Tim wanted to be rich but didn't know how to do it. One day, he decided to ask the wealthy man in the village for advice. The wealthy man told Tim about the world of finance and said that if Tim learned about debt, interest, income, value, budget, deposit, dividend, stock, investment, and loan, he too could become rich.

So Tim set out on a journey to learn all about finance. He read books, talked to experts, and practiced managing his own finances. He learned that by making smart investments and managing his budget, he could grow his income and increase his wealth.

One day, Tim invested in a stock and received a dividend. He was so excited that he started to dance around the village square, shouting "I'm rich, I'm rich!" Unfortunately, he didn't know that the dividend was just a small part of his earnings, and he had spent all of his profits on a big feast for the village. When the bill came, Tim realized he was back to being broke.

But Tim didn't give up. He continued to learn and grow his knowledge of finance. He took out a loan to invest in more stocks and managed his budget carefully so he wouldn't overspend. Over time, Tim's wealth grew and he became the richest man in the village.

And every year, Tim would share his wealth with the village by hosting a big feast, but this time, he made sure to save enough money to pay the bill!

The end.
