If someone offers you a “gift” and you refuse to accept it,

One of the stories of the Buddha has it that when confronted by an angry, rude man who hurled insults at him, Buddha only smiled.  His followers asked him why he did not reply, and he reportedly said If someone offers you a gift, and you refuse to accept it, to whom does the gift belong? and the right answer of course is “the person who brought the gift”.
