Ans:- THREE FRIENDS AND A PURSE OF GOLD
Once upon a time, there lived three friends. Their names were Mohan, Sohan and Rakesh. They were good neighbours, too. Their fast friendship was an example for the people of the whole village.
Once they decided to set out on a long journey. They wanted to earn their livelihood in some far-off land. They walked on and on. At last, they reached a dense forest. To their good luck there they found a purse full of gold. They were very happy. Now the question of dividing the gold arose. They agreed to share it into three equal parts. But they were very hungry. They wanted to eat something. They sent Rakesh to the nearby city to bring delicious food. Rakesh took to his heels. Soon he found a good hotel.
He ate his share of food. When he was eating, a terrible idea came to him. Why should he share the gold with Mohan and Sohan? Why should he not seize the whole gold himself? He mixed poison in the food of Mohan and Sohan.
The other two—Mohan and Sohan thought on a similar line. Why should they give the third share to Rakesh? Why should they pot pocket fifty per cent each of the gold? As soon as Rakesh reached the place, both Mohan and Sohan pounced upon Rakesh. They killed him there and then. Now they were happy that their third partner was cleared off. They would have two equal shares now. They sat to eat food. It was a deadly Poisonous. They had lost all sense of judging the last food. They ate it and reached the lap of death in no time. The purse of gold lay where it was lying before. It was not hi the fate of anyone They got killed as a result of their greed and selfishness.
Moral: Greed is a curse.
Or
