Miser & the pot of Gold
Dear Kids,
Here's a story of a miser:
A MISER sold all that he had and bought a Pot full of Gold coins, which he buried in a hole in the ground by the side of an old wall and went to look at it daily.
One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the pot of gold coins, and stole it.
The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations.
A Sanyasin, passing by, asked him about the matter. On seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, "Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it."
Watch out in the following days to find out what happened to the Miser and his pot of gold!?!?!?
Happy reading!
