Once, two brothers earned a lot of wealth. They were returning home via the sea. The younger of the two was greedy. He looked at a sack of gold which belonged to his brother. He replaced the gold sack with a sand sack. After that he threw the sand sack into the water. But, that sack was the gold sack. The younger brother lied to his elder brother that his gold sack had fallen into the river by mistake. The sea-goddess saw all this. She became a fish and swallowed the gold sack. The fish was put up for sale. The person who bought the fish was none other than the elder brother. As soon as his wife cut the fish, she found gold inside. Then, the sea-goddess appeared and told them everything. When confronted, the greedy brother apologised for his misdeeds. The elder brother forgave him immediately.
