It's kind to help a friend earn money.
Jebidiah and Abraham are talking about their respective farms when Abraham asks Jebidiah how he makes so much more money than everyone else.
Jebidiah wants to answer Abraham's question.
Jebidiah tells Abraham that instead of using the cows to only sell milk, he makes butter and cheese that sell for a premium.
Jebidiah tells Abraham that he's probably just lucky, and he's never analyzed why he's successful.
Abraham is delighted to learn of this idea, that he had never thought of and is grateful to Jebidiah.
Abraham continues to flail in the wind so to speak, financially and is unable to ever get any real money.
