Once, a dying man told his son, “When I die, please sow some pumpkin seeds on my grave.” So, when the man died, his son sowed some pumpkin seeds on his grave. Slowly the pumpkins grew. When they were fully ripe, the son sold them. The son became very rich after that. Soon, his pumpkins became famous throughout the kingdom. People from everywhere wanted to buy his pumpkins. The son amassed a lot of gold coins. The king of the kingdom was very greedy. He wanted the son’s gold for himself. So, he sent his soldiers to the son’s house and they took away all his gold. But when the king opened the gold chest, there were snakes in it. The king was scared and sent back the chest. When the son opened the chest, the gold was sparkling as before.
