Love of Gold

Once, there was a man who loved gold. Gold was his life. He dreamed of gold all the time. He used to get excited when he used to see gold. One day, he was passing a jewellery shop when he saw a jeweller with a big bar of gold. The man could not resist himself. He got excited, snatched the gold from the jeweller’s hands and ran off. The jeweller was shocked and cried out, “Stop! Thief! Some-body catches him.” People ran after him and caught him. The man was put behind bars. When he was brought before the judge, the judge asked him, “Why did you steal the bar of gold? Were you not afraid of getting caught?” The man replied, “At that time I only saw the gold and nothing else.”
