To help me identify the characters, could you please provide:
* The full title of the fable: Is it "Richer, Poorer", or does it have another name?
* The source of the fable: Where did you encounter this story (book, website, etc.)?
* A brief summary of the story: What is the main plot or message of the fable?
Once I have more information, I can help you identify the characters.
