Greediness of beggar
Once upon a time , in a town there lived a beggar. He was spending a tough life. He had heard that the King of their country would be visiting this town shortly. Beggar was eagerly waiting for that day. He thought he will meet King and explain him all his problems.
King will surely help and his powerty will get solved. One day he was standing infront of a house asking for alms. When house lady came to give alms, that time itself beggar observed that King is coming that way. Forgetting alms, he rushed towards King.
After meeting King, he told all his problems. Listening to that, King asked him " You are telling your own problems. Dont you give me anything? I am your guest". By listening to those words, beggar didnt know what to say. He is only begging for living !
Then he remembered that he is having rice which he got as alms in his bag. But if he give that one to King, what will he do for dinner? Thats why he counted 5 rice grain and gave them to King with a heavy heart.Since he was expecting King to help, but now he is helping King!
When he returnrd to his house that day, he observed a bag lying infront of his house door. Eagerly he came to look at it. He thought King had kept the bag. But to his dismay, there were only 5 gold coins. Then he realised that these were in return to what he had given to King. He is now repenting that if he would have given full bag of rice instead of just 5 grains, now he would have been rich.
