arrives as a thief.

Money is an umbrella. Poverty is rain. If rain falls and you have an umbrella, people will run to you. They are not attracted to you. They are attracted to your umbrella. If you lose the umbrella or the rain stops falling, they too will stop calling! The best time to make friends is when you don’t have an umbrella. Those who love you then, love you for real. Noah was laughed at when he told his neighbours that the flood was coming. But when the flood came, and he was on the Ark, they all would have wanted to be his friend.
So please be wise to choose your friends!
