GREED-A CURSE
Once upon a time there lived a cloth merchant
in a village with his wife and two children. They were indeed quite well-off.
They had a beautiful hen which laid an egg everyday. It was not an ordinary
egg, rather, a golden egg. But the man was not satisfied with what he used to
get daily. He was a get rich-trice kind of a person.
The man wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at one single go. So, one day he thought hard and at last clicked upon a plan. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs together.
So, the next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the man caught hold of it, took a sharp knife, chopped off its neck and cut its body open.
There was nothing but blood all around & no trace of any egg at all. He was highly grieved because now he would not get even one single egg.
His life was going on smoothly with one egg a day but now, he himself made his life miserable. The outcome of his greed was that he started becoming poorer & poorer day by day and ultimately became a pauper. How jinxed and how much foolish he was.
So, the moral of the story is- one who desires more, looses all. One should remain satisfied with what one gets.

LEARN TO LIVE WITH YOUR WEAKNESSES
It was a fine day during the rainy season. A peacock was
dancing happily in a forest. Suddenly he reminded of his ugly rough voice. His
face turned pale and his eyes started watering.
Suddenly he saw a nightingale sitting on a nearby tree and singing. Listening her, the peacock lamented "what a sweet voice she has, which everybody loves and praises but when I utter a sound everybody makes fun of me. How jinxed am I".
Just then appeared Juna- wife of Jupiter, the chief of gods. She asked the peacock "why are u said?" The peacock sobbed out " I have got such a beautiful body that is praised by all but my voice is so bad that everyone laughs at it. So this beauty is useless".
The goddess replied " you are the only one who is unhappy. Several creatures have been gifted by god with various gifts like- you the beauty, eagle the strength, nightingale the sweet voice, so on and so forth. So don't grumble over your weakness, accept the way it is and be happy".
Hence, one should not regret on what he/she doesn't have rather be satisfied with what one has.

So, the moral of the story is- one who desires more, looses all. One should remain satisfied with what one gets.
The man wanted to get all the golden eggs from his hen at one single go. So, one day he thought hard and at last clicked upon a plan. He decided to kill the hen and get all the eggs together.
So, the next day when the hen laid a golden egg, the man caught hold of it, took a sharp knife, chopped off its neck and cut its body open.
There was nothing but blood all around & no trace of any egg at all. He was highly grieved because now he would not get even one single egg.
His life was going on smoothly with one egg a day but now, he himself made his life miserable. The outcome of his greed was that he started becoming poorer & poorer day by day and ultimately became a pauper. How jinxed and how much foolish he was.
So, the moral of the story is- one who desires more, looses all. One should remain satisfied with what one gets.

UNITED WE STAND ;DIVIDED WE FALL
Once upon a time three sons were engaged in merchantile
business under the supervision of their father. They were very rich. Each son
was proficient in his own department.
If one was good in sales, the other one was competent in purchases and similarly the third one in finance.
Unluckily, one day the father got bed ridden and the sons decided to divide the business under the fallacy that each of them were experts in their own way and can handle their individual business solely.
The father was glum and grumpy with their decision but was helpless and unfortunately the separation took place.
As a result three of them became each other's competitors. With the passage of time, they started having huge losses in their respective businesses. They tried all possible ways to succeed but the situation became worse.
Then they came to their father for a piece of advice. The father said "when you all were doing the business jointly, the business ran successfully. But it was not any one of you responsible for the success of the business rather traits of all three of you put together made the business successful".
The sons realized their mistake & got reunited. So we conclude that disunity always ruins.
