MONEY FROM WATER, BACK TO ON THE WATER
Once there was a dairy man. He would milk his cows every day
and sell the milk in his village. He lived very peaceful and happy life. He was
well-knowing for supplying fresh milk, even in the nearby villages.
One day he became greedy. He thought to himself “How long
will I have to stay poor like this? let me mix some water into my milk. This
way I can earn more money!”.
According to his plan he mixed water in his milk and sold it
to the villagers. To his surprise his sales had increased. He was jumping with
joy! Money was rolling in like no one
could imagine.
One day he took his bag full of money and went skipping on
home. It was the summer and the heat unbearable. As he was passing by a lake he decided to stop and rest
under a nearby tree, catching a cool breeze within a few minutes he was sound
sleep.
There was a monkey who live on that tree. The monkey hadn’t
eaten since morning and he was extremely hungry, He saw that the dairyman had a big bag with him. The monkey
thought ”there must some food in that bag,”
He grabbed the bag and opened it up. To his surprise he saw
hundreds of brand new shiny coins. The monkey snatched the bag and climbed the
tree, The monkey did not value the money. He started tossing the coins to the
lake, He would throw it at the birds in the nearby tree. He was enjoying
himself by throwing away the money. when he went to throw the last coin it fell
on dairyman’s head, immediately he woke up.
He look up and saw the monkey with empty bag in his hand, He
looked around and saw a bunch of coins lying in the grass around the tree, The
monkey had had his fun and then ran off into the woods.
The dairyman started crying. Sobbing he collected as many
coins as he could find. He counted the money and realized that the money he
earned, from the water which he mixed in the milk, was in the lake
And the money he earned from the actual milk portion, was
all the remained in his hand.
