greedy farmer story how farmer buy a farm
Answers
Once upon a time there was a wealthy farmer in a far away village. The farmer was so greedy that he wanted all the good things for himself.
Then one day he was offered a deal. He was told that he would be given the length of the land he walk in a day as long as he came back to the point where he started before sunset.
To get a head start, early the next morning, the farmer started to cover ground quickly because he wanted to get as much land as possible.
He walked for a very long distance and even when he was tired, he kept walking all afternoon.
He did so because he did not want to miss this “once-in-a-lifetime” chance to gain more wealth.
Later in the evening, he remembered that the condition to get the land was to get back to the starting point before sunset. Unfortunately, his greed had taken him very far away from the starting point.
He immediately began his return journey keeping an eye on how fast the sun was setting. The closer it came to sunset, the faster he ran. He was exhausted and out of breath, but he continued up to the extent of pushing himself beyond the point of endurance.
When he finally reached the starting point before the sun had set, he collapsed and died. All that the farmer needed was only a small plot of land on which he was buried, even after walking such a long distance.
Lesson
The moral of the story to children is to avoid being greedy because greed can make you struggle for things you do not need. Greed makes you fight for things at all cost without caring about your health and the well being of others just like the farmer was.
There lived a farmer in a village. He had a wonderful goose. The goose laid an egg of gold every day. The farmer was very greedy. He thought that there were many eggs in the belly of the goose. He wanted to have all the eggs at a time. Thus, he wished to be rich.
One day he hit upon a plan that he would kill the goose and get all the eggs of gold from its belly. Then he would sell the eggs and become rich at once.
The farmer told his wife about his plan. His wife was wise but not greedy. She said to her husband, “Don’t be greedy. Be happy with what we’ve.”
But the farmer did not listen to his wife. He killed the goose with a sharp knife. Then he cut open its belly. But alas! He found no egg in it. Thus, the greedy farmer lost his useful goose.
