44

One day, a man and his wife were digging the land to sow some seeds. While digging, their shovel hit something. It was a large empty copper pot. They took it out and carried it home. On the way, the man put his shovel in the pot.

When they reached home, they looked in the pot. Both of them were amazed to see two shovels inside it. The woman said, “ I think this is a magical pot. Whatever we would put in the pot, it will double by itself.” So, the woman put some money in the pot and doubled it. Again they put more money and got double money. They both became greedy and kept on making more money. One day, unfortunately, the woman slipped and fell inside the pot. The man pulled her out, but now there were two wives. He pulled out the second woman. The magical pot had put the man in great trouble. It is very well said that greed is a great evil.
