Aesop
A miser had a lump of gold, which he buried in the ground, coming to the spot every day to look at it.
One day, finding that it was stolen, he began to tear his hear and lament loudly.
A neighbor, seeing him, said, "Pray do not grieve so. Bury a stone in the hole and fancy it is the gold. It will serve you just as well, for when the gold was there you made no use of it."
