The greedy man and the lost coins

 


In a small village, there lived a very greedy and selfish man. He was always thinking about money and how to trick others to get more. One day, while coming home from the market, he lost thirty gold coins. The man was extremely worried and didn't know what to do.


He went to his friend's house, who was known for being kind-hearted and honest, and told him about the lost coins. Just then, his friend's daughter entered the house and said she had found thirty gold coins in the market. The honest friend knew these coins belonged to the greedy man, so he decided to return them.


However, a cunning thought came to the greedy man's mind. He counted the coins and said there were ten coins short. He claimed he had lost forty coins and blamed the daughter for stealing the missing coins. The friend refused to give more coins, so the greedy man took the matter to the king's court.


The wise king listened to both sides and came up with a solution. He asked the greedy man how many coins he had lost, and the man replied, "Forty." The king then said, "Since you lost forty coins, these thirty coins cannot be yours." He decided to give the coins to the daughter instead.


The greedy man was trapped in his own lie and realized he would lose the thirty coins. He confessed to the king about his plan to trick his friend. As a punishment, the king ordered the greedy man to give his own thirty gold coins to the daughter.


The greedy man learned a valuable lesson that day. He was left with no money and no one trusted him because of his dishonest nature. The king's wise decision taught him that honesty is always the best policy.


This story teaches us the importance of being honest and kind. Being greedy and dishonest can lead to losing everything, while honesty and kindness can bring happiness and trust.


So , take care , my friend 


Honesty is the best policy

Always tell the truth, even if it's difficult.


Kindness goes a long way

Being kind to others can bring happiness and trust.


Greed can lead to loss 

Being too greedy can result in losing everything.


good night , dear friends

Rosie , the wrinkled apple

  Rosie , the wrinkled apple In the bustling farmer's market, a lone apple named Rosie felt a pang of worry. She had begun to wither and wrinkle, her usual vibrant red hue fading to a dull pink. Rosie knew she was sick, and she didn't want to infect her healthy friends. As the other apples chatted and laughed together, Rosie kept her distance. She'd watch from afar, feeling a mix of sadness and isolation. The nearby apples seemed oblivious to her condition, and Rosie didn't want to ruin their joyful gatherings. One day, a gentle breeze carried the whispers of a wise old pear tree. The tree, noticing Rosie's solitude, offered some sage advice: "Your worth isn't defined by your appearance or health. You're still a valuable part of the harvest, and your uniqueness can teach others about resilience." Rosie pondered the pear tree's words. She realized that by keeping her distance, she was protecting the other apples. Her isolation wasn't a weakn...

  the vigilant lamb who had saved the farm from harm Once upon a time, in a lush green farm yard, a lamb named Lily loved to graze on the fresh grass and eat the nutritious feed provided by the farmer. One sunny afternoon, as Lily was munching on her favorite hay, she suddenly caught a whiff of a strong, pungent smell. Lily's sensitive nose wrinkled in distaste as she sniffed the air. The smell was unlike anything she had ever smelled before. It was bitter and chemical-like, and it made her feel uneasy. She stopped eating and looked around, trying to figure out where the smell was coming from. As she wandered around the farm yard, Lily noticed that the smell seemed to be coming from a nearby patch of soil. She saw some strange, colorful bags lying nearby, and her curiosity got the better of her. She approached the bags cautiously and sniffed them. The smell was even stronger now, and Lily's instincts told her that something was not right. She suspected that the bags might conta...
