The Golden Touch

 Once there lived a greedy man in a small town. He was very rich, and he loved gold and all things fancy. But he loved his daughter more than anything. One day, he chanced upon a fairy. The fairy’s hair was caught in a few tree branches. He helped her out, but as his greediness took over, he realised that he had an opportunity to become richer by asking for a wish in return (by helping her out). The fairy granted him a wish. He said, “All that I touch should turn to gold.” And his wish was granted by the grateful fairy.

The greedy man rushed home to tell his wife and daughter about his wish, all the while touching stones and pebbles and watching them convert into gold. Once he got home, his daughter rushed to greet him. As soon as he bent down to scoop her up in his arms, she turned into a gold statue. He was devastated and started crying and trying to bring his daughter back to life. He realised his folly and spent the rest of his days searching for the fairy to take away his wish.


Moral of the Story

Greed will always lead to downfall.

  நாட்டின் ராஜாவிற்கு ஒரு மகன் இருந்தான். அவனை மிகவும் செல்லமாக ஒரு இளவரசனை எப்படி பார்த்து கொள்வர்களோ அதே போல பார்த்து கொண்டார்கள். இளவரசன்...
