" A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches."
Proverbs 22:1
In Lavell Edward's story about the distributer telling the truth about the berries when Edward's father's name is mentioned. The significnce of just his father's name being mentioned changed the direction of the distributer's thoughts and actions. If it were the opposite and that indeed he did forgot the berries and his father's name was not as good then it would have been more difficult to get him to tell the truth. Money is good for what it is, but a person must not put that first in their life, the importance of a good name heavily outweighs the riches and luxuries provided by money.
