The result of greed

Once there was a king called Midas. He was extremely fond of gold. Although he had a lot of it, he wanted more. He thought, if he had the golden touch, he would be the happiest man. A wise god granted his wish promptly. Half an hour later, as the king was sitting in his garden...........

Suddenly a ripe apple fell beside him. The king picked it up. As he touched it, the apple turned into gold. He could hardly believe his eyes. Then whatever he touched everything turned into gold.  When the king entered his palace, his little daughter ran up to him and he took her in his arms. Instantly she turned into gold. The king was struck with horror and felt sorry for his wish. Immediately the wise god took the golden touch away and the girl became human again.  

OR,

Once a farmer lives in a village. He had a wonderful goose. The goose used to lay a golden egg everyday. The farmer would sell them in the market. So he was becoming rich day by day. But the farmer was very greedy.........

He thought that the belly of the goose was full of golden eggs. So he wanted to get all the eggs at a time in order to becoming rich overnight. One day he took his knife and cut the belly of the goose. But alas! There was no egg in the belly of the goose. The farmer became very sad. Thus he lost his valuable goose forever.
