There lived a hunter near
village. One day he want for hunting. He could not find any animal for quite
a sometime. He looked here and there for some animal which he could hunt.
Suddenly, he saw a wild pig. The pig came out of the bushes and attacked him.
The hunter shot an arrow at the wild pig. The arrow pierced pig's chest. The
pig was badly wounded. Though he felt losing his strength, he came and
attacked the hunter.

He caught hold of him and
pierced his stomach with his tusks. The hunter died on the spot.
The pig too
struggled for some time and then died because of the fatal wound on his body. A
hunter jackal was roaming around at that place. He saw both the hunter and the
pig lay dead on the ground. The jackal felt very happy. He thought to himself,
"how nice it is! After many days, I can have a feast. But I should not eat
all the meat at once.
I must keep the meat for a
long time. I must take it bit by bit. Just then the jackal caught sight of
the hunter's bow lying next to him. 'Aha! The string used for this bow looks
like it is made of sheep gut. I can chew on it for quite some time; Thus
thinking the jackal bit the string of the bow, which snapped suddenly. The
sharp end of the bow pierced the jackal causing its death. The greedy jackal
died at once. If you are too much greedy, the greed will lead you to your own
destruction. The greedy jackal is an example of this.

Moral : Too much Greedy is
always Harmful.
