Once, Morris and Jason were two farmers. Morris was hard-working and was well-off while Jason was lazy and not that well-off. Once, Morris produced a huge pumpkin of a rare variety. It had four legs, a trunk and a tail just like an elephant’s. Joyfully, Morris gifted the pumpkin to the king. In return, the pleased king gifted Morris a real elephant. Now, Jason became extremely jealous of Morris. So, he sold off his farm and purchased an elephant. He gifted it to the king. The king was puzzled as to why a farmer would gift him an elephant. So, he asked his minister to find the reason. The minister found out the reason. He told the king everything. So, the clever king gifted Jason a nice pumpkin. Jason was very upset. He repented selling his farm. Now, he was a ruined man all because of his jealousy.
Moral: Jealousy is an evil.
