It is an undisputed fact that an avaricious human being is never content with his possessions.His yearnings to acquire more and more vie with the sky!Sometimes his greed boomerangs upon himself as the following famous fable illustrates-
Once a peasant tamed a beautiful goose.It was a miraculous bird. It laid a golden ovum every day.The peasant made both ends meet easily and comfortably by selling the golden eggs.But he was as greedy as a hog.He wanted to acquire oodles of money in the shortest possible time
One day he thought an outlandish plan.He chortled,"Why should I wait for the ova every day?If I slit open the tummy of the bird and scoop out all the golden ova simultaneously,then I would become zillions times rich and would be as rich as BILL GATES."Thus thinking,he without weighing all the pros and cons of his stupid idea,instantaneously ripped open the gut of the poor goose with a sharp edged weapon.Hot blood splattered all over the floor.But he found no ovum inside the entrails of the dead goose.It was no more alive to deliver the golden egg every day.The nincompoop peasant burst into tears and wept bitterly over his mulishness but it was of no use to cry over the spilt milk.
MORAL----AVARICE IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVILS!!
