There was a greedy farmer. He did not realise that greed is a bad quality. People want more because they are greedy. But they often end up losing because of greed. Once, the greedy farmer helped a fairy. So, she said, “I will give you all the land you can walk in a day. But you must come back to the starting point by sunset.” The next morning, the farmer started walking quickly. He kept walking all afternoon. Then he realised, “I need to get back to the starting point by sunset.” So, he quickly turned back. He ran fast because the sun was going to set soon. Soon, he was exhausted and could not reach the starting point. The fairy said, “You failed because of your greed. If you had turned back sooner, you would have had a lot of land.” The farmer promised that he would not be greedy again.
