A rich man moved in next to a tanner and found the smell from the tannery so unpleasant that he demanded his neighbor leave. The tanner kept postponing his departure, assuring the rich man each time that he was preparing to move soon. This continued for some time until, eventually, the rich man grew so accustomed to the smell that he no longer minded it and stopped complaining to the tanner.
