There lived twin sisters called Lily and Sarah! They were identical twins, even their mother found it too hard to tell the difference between both of the twins. Lily was very generous while Sarah was greedy.
As they grew up, their father wanted to share his fortune equally. However, Sarah did not agree and she argued that whoever is more intelligent and strong, will gain higher share of wealth than the other. Lily agreed. Their father decided to organize a competition between the two sisters
Their father told the two daughters to walk as long as they can and they should return home before the sunset. Whoever walks the longer distance and returns home before sunset will get huge amount of wealth.
Both started to walk a long way during a sunny day. Lily walked slowly and steadily, while Sarah urged to win over Lily and started to run instantly. It was mid-day and Lily decided to return back as he could reach home on time.
However, Sarah with her greediness to earn more wealth, did not turn her way back home even after mid-day. She walked two times longer distance that what Lily was covered and decided to return back before the sunset. She hurried to return home as the sun turned orange in the evening. Unfortunately, she could not even make half way to home and the moon rises.
She lost the race and was defeated because of greediness! Now you know greed will not earn you anything. However, it will lead to a great disaster.
