Well, the banker was exactly as expected. On top of the world until he lost the money, tried to rob his way out of the situation and then ended up getting bailed out by the poor.

This animation is so delightful, you almost feel the smells and tastes, everything breathing here. Bravo to the animators, this is a masterpiece!

When the change came, the beggar should've came in and shook his cup 😂 That would've been full circle

The way the lady struggles to open her bag isn’t depicting how week she is, just a metaphor on how she runs a tight purse.

Love the mirror concept as once again it gives a bigger stage 😎

Has a Pink Panther flavor. Especially like the jazzy tunes!😂

This deserves more views, Likes, and episodes. The "homeless" guy is a compelling mysterious character I want to learn more about.

Not much into animation but I really loved this. The hand reaching across the seat to the nun's bag - priceless.

A great example of being kind to everybody always. Never stop showing kindness even if that person is bad to you. That person will change his perspective of things someday because of you. ❤❤❤🇵🇭

No matter rich or poor even small or big could be surprising save your life from punishment or even suffering. 😊

What an unexpected delight, what a lovely little video. The same style of class as the old cartoons, combined with an Aesop's fable type ending (or Paul Harvey) - I actually got tears in my eyes. Thank you.
