Once upon a time, a hunter lived
happily with his family in a village.
One morning, the hunter set out
for hunting a deer in the nearby forest. After entering the forest, he soon saw
a deer and hunted it down. He hung the deer carcass over his shoulder and began
walking back for home.
While he had come a short distance
he saw a wild boar. The hunter amazed at his luck, dropped the deer carcass and
shot the boar with an arrow. The wounded boar was still powerful. It pulled the
hunter and killed him, before he himself died.
After sometime a jackal passed
through the same place. He saw the dead hunter and boar lying near each other
and the carcass of dear at some distance.
The jackal was hungry and
overjoyed to find so much food without any efforts.”
The jackal thought, “I am very
lucky to have so much food. But I will eat only some part of it so that the
food may last longer”.
The greedy jackal decided to first
gather and eat the fresh around arrow. But the arrow badly pricked his jaws and
went through his head. The greedy jackal died hungry.
Moral: Greed is not good. It never
pays.
