However, there is a difference in their rewards in accordance to their financial status. For the one who possessed only two Rotis, it is equivalent to a rich man giving his entire wealth. Therefore, a rich person may earn ten folds for his generous action, a middle class person may get 700 times the reward and one who possessed only two Rotis may earn countless reward.
