King Matthias’s advice (Stories about King Matthias of Hungary)

Once King Matthias wanted to go across Suceava, but he had no money. He asked the boatman to take him across, he had no money, but he said he can give him an advice that are worth more than the money.

The boatman thought – well if the advice is so good, I will take you across. And he took him across the river. When King Matthias got out of the boat he said jokingly to the boatman:

- My friend, don’t do this favor to others, otherwise you will not earn a lot of money to take home to your family.

This was the piece of advice king Matthias gave to the boatman.
