00:00Money changes all relationships.

00:03When Zaid visits his neighbors now,

00:05the traditional feast for a visitor

00:07becomes an offering to a wealthy benefactor instead.

00:11Unlike many of Arabia's oil millionaires,

00:14Zaid believes in sharing his wealth.

00:17He told me once, the oil business is like a lottery.

00:20I might still be poor and my neighbors might be rich,

00:23so we ought to help each other.

00:25He's already given away millions.

00:28Zaid's host at this feast was one of his poorest neighbors.

00:32But now that Zaid has touched his palm with silver,

00:35he won't be quite so poor.

00:44The feast is traditional.

01:11It's always the custom in Arabia

01:13for the poor to eat at the rich man's table,

01:30in descending order of rank and ascending order of hunger.

01:35It's not the most elegant spectacle,

01:37and it's not the choicest food,

01:39but in a harsh and hungry land,

01:41any excuse is welcome for a blowout,

01:44especially when it's held for a man with money.
