The greedy grocer

Once upon a time there was a man named Lala, who was a grocer and he was very greedy. He tried to cheat people by various means. He would mix stones in pulses and coloured sand in spices and sell them to the poor villagers . The villagers complained to him but he turned a deaf ear as his shop was the only grocery store in the village.

The villagers thought of teaching him a lesson. One day a villager arranged a small get-together and invited him for lunch.The grocer was clever and avoided eating anything. However, his little boy couldn't resist and ate all that was served to him. Just after sometime, the boy fell sick and started vomiting.

The grocer got frightened and threatened the villagers for food poisoning his child. The panchayat was called for discussion. The villagers explained that everything was bought from the grocer's shop and they were not at fault. The grocer understood his mistake and realised it all happened because of him. He vowed never to cheat again in the future.
