The Greedy Man

There once was a very greedy man who sold everything the owned and
bought a brick of gold. He buried the gold brick behind a hut that was across the
road from his shabby old house. Every day, the greedy man went across the road
and dug up his gold brick to look at it.
After a while, a workman noticed the greedy man across the road every day,
the greedy man dug down for his gold brick, but the hole was empty. He pulled at his
hair and cried out in sorrow. “My beautiful gold brick!” he wept.
A neighbor came running and asked the greedy man what had happened.
What had happened? When the greedy man told him, the neighbor just shrugged his
shoulders. “Why be so sad?” said the neighbor. Just go get a rock and put it in that
hole and pretend that it is gold. It will do you as much good as the gold old.”
