Losing Interest

One day a usurer lost a pack of silver ingots. A man happened to find it, and returned the pack to him untouched. Having checked the it carefully, the usurer stared at it quite a while, and drew together his brows.

"Are there any silver ingots missing?" asked the man who had found the pack.

"The silver ingots are all here, but I needlessly lost a lot of interest," the usurer said regretfully.
