     Punishment for Being Greedy Part-2 English Story

     Once upon a time there lived four Brahmins. They decided to go in search of knowledge. They had heard about a famous sage whose name was Nandkishore. They decided to go to him for knowledge.

     When they reached his ashram, they found that he was sitting in a Samadhi. After a long time, the sage opened his eyes. He saw the four Brahmins boys kneeling in front of him in reverence. He was very pleased. He asked, “My children, why have you come here?” The boys replied, “We have come here in search of knowledge. We want to become prosperous with its help.” The sage thought for a moment and smiled. The sage thought, “They have not yet learnt the true meaning of prosperity.” After that the sage said, “I will give you a boon that would make you rich. But before that I will teach you the use of wealth. If you agree, you can become my disciples.”

     The four boys agreed at once. They started staying with the sage. Soon he taught them many things. When they had learnt enough, he called them and said, “I think you can now use wealth wisely. I have some flowers here. Take them with you, keep them in a bag. Go in the north direction and wherever they fall down, dig there and you will find wealth.”

     The boys were very happy. They thanked the sage and left. After walking for some time, one of them suddenly saw that his bag was empty.

     The flower had fallen off somewhere. They retraced their steps and found the flower lying on the side of the road.

     Excited, they started digging there. They found copper coins there. The boy, whose flower had fallen down, said, “there is enough here for all us. Let’s distribute it among ourselves and go back.”

     But the others disagreed and said they wanted their own flowers to fall down. That one boy returned back, while the others went on. On the second day, the flower of the second boy fell down. When he dug there, he found silver coins. He too offered to share them with his friends, but they disagreed and went on.

On the third day, the third boy’s flower also fell down. When he dug there, he found gold coins. He said to his friend, “At last we have found gold. You will take half of it and I will take half.”

     “Of course not. Our first friend found copper coins, our second friend found silver coins and you found gold. If I go on, I will surely find gems. I want to go on.”

     Saying this he continued on his path. After some days, he reached a desert. He saw a man standing there on whose head a wheel was rotating. He was very surprised. “Why have you got that wheel on your head?” he asked.

     Suddenly the wheel flew off the head of that man’s head and landed on the head of the Brahmin boy. He screamed with pain.

     “At last I am free!” that man said. “That wheel came on my head when I came here looking for wealth. This is the punishment for being greedy. It would only be removed when someone greedier comes along.”

     So saying the man went away. The boy cursed himself for his greed. But now he could not do anything.

     In present time, the numbers of people are increasing day by day. But you should always care about it.

Moral- Greed lends a person in trouble. Greedy people are never happy in life. Their desires are never fulfilled. They are never satisfied. Don’t be greedy in your life. Greedy people always got punishment.
