There were two brothers. The elder brother inherited everything and gave the younger brother nothing. One day, the younger brother was sitting sadly on a mountain, when a bird asked him, “Why are you so sad?” The brother told her everything. The bird said, “Climb on my back. I will carry you to the land of gold. But we need to leave the land before sunrise as the sun burns everything.” So, the bird took the younger brother to the land. The brother quickly collected some gold and they flew back before sunrise. He told his elder brother everything. He too went to the mountain. He made up a sad story and the bird carried him to the land of gold too. But he got too greedy and kept on collecting gold. The bird, tired of waiting, flew away as the sun was rising. The greedy brother was burnt by the scorching sun and died.
Moral: Never be greedy.
