My dear Avoni,
I hope you’re having a great time. Today, I’ll tell you an interesting story about the result of excessive greed.
In a distant time, there lived a poor farmer with his wife. By chance, the farmer got a magical goose which laid a golden egg every day. It brought good luck to them. Yet the farmer was not satisfied and cut the goose open to get all the golden eggs at a time. He thought that he could become rich overnight. But with disappointment, he found that there were no golden eggs inside its stomach. So, he remained poor and couldn’t change his miserable condition in spite of having a great chance. Can you see what happens when someone is excessively greedy? It leads a man to his downfall.
I’ll take your leave now. Stay well.
Yours ever,
Mina
