A brother asked Abba Poemen the question, saying, An inheritance has been bequeathed to me; what will I do with it?' Abba Poemen said to him, ' Go, and after three days come to me, and I will give you counsel.'And the brother came, and Abba Poemen said to him, ' What counsel will I give you, O brother? If I tell you to give it to the church, they will make feasts with it; and again, if I tell you to give it to your kinsmen, you will have no reward; but if I tell you to give it to the poor, you will have no [further] care. Therefore go and do with your inheritance what you pleasest, for I am not able to advise you rightly.'
