"Greed is curse" is a very well-known proverb.It means a desire for more of something than is necessary leads to unpleasant situation.Sometimes a man desires to get more than needs.His greed brings harm to him.
Once a dog was very hungry.In search of food he happened to pass by a butchers shop.He stole a piece of meat from there.He wanted to eat it all alone.Therefore,he ran to the jungle to find some safe place.After covering a short distance he reaches a stream.There was a bridge over it.He began to cross the bridge.He stopped for a while in the middle of the bridge.He looked into the water of the stream.He saw his own refection in the water.He took it for another dog with piece of meat.The dog was very greedy.He wanted to snatch the piece of meat from the dog in the water.He barked at the dog in the water.As soon as he opened his mouth,his own piece of meat fell down into the water.He became angry.He,at once ,jumped into the water to fight with that dog.As soon as he did so,his refection in the water disappeared.He could find neither the dog nor his own piece of meat.Therefore,he had to remain hungry.
Moral:
- Greed is curse
- something is better than nothing
- All covet,all lose
- Do not be greedy
