The Story.

There lived a monkey in a tree near the village well. He was feeling very hungry one day. He entered the house of a farmer in search of food. He put his hand into a box through a small hole. He was glad to find it full of grams. He tried to get a handful of these. But the hole was very small, and the monkey was too greedy to be satisfied with a small quantity. All of a sudden he was seen by the farmer’s dog. It fell upon him at once and tore him into pieces.

Moral. No vice like avarice.
