The Good Samaritan

Once upon a time, there was a man who was traveling from one village to another. On the way, some robbers attacked him, took all his belongings, and left him injured on the side of the road.

Soon, a priest came walking down the road. He saw the injured man but chose to walk on the other side, pretending he didn't notice. A little while later, a Levite passed by and did the same.
