THE GREEDY BUSINESS MAN


A greedy business man yearned for  more and more .
On learning of a treasure hidden on a  high sandy hill 
Far far  away on the  huge rocky seashore .
He trudged all alone to get a bag filled 

Slipping many a times while walking upward,
Enduring the blazing sun and the blowing sand ,
He continued the difficult climb totally undeterred 
to reach the hill top and grab the treasure in his hand .

At last he was there feeling happy and  aware ,
that  soon he would have the riches in his bag .
But alas !he saw only a huge rock nearly square .
He wondered now ,what could be the real  snag ?

Oh ! I know he thought the treasure must be under the rock .
Puffing and huffing hard he turned the heavy rock stone .
On spotting a silvery shine on the opposite side of the block .
He shouted in ecstasy"Eureka ! there's silver here ,now my very own "

He rubbed very hard to shed the  silvery sand ,
An inscription then he  found clearly engraved 
"Greed is the root cause of evil in this land 
You should be satisfied with what you have in hand "

The greedy business man now realized his mistake ,
Returned to his house to work and hardly took a break 
Became sincere  and trust worthy in his business dealings ,
What he earned now gave him joy and satisfied his feelings .
