Sam was a very selfish and greedy man. He always thinks about himself and how he can get more money even though it is cheating.

He has a desire to get lots and lots of money without hesitating to hard people. He was never interested to share anything with other people.

He gave low amounts of wags to his servant.

However, one day, he learned a good which changed everything forever.

On one of the busy days of his life schedule, a small bag which belonged to sam was massing.

That bag had 60 gold coins on it. He was searching every Conner of the possible places where he took the bag. But he couldn’t find it.

Sam’s friend, neighbour and works also join the search group, but all their hard work was in vain.

After a few days, the ten years of the daughter of a worker found a bag which was looks like sam’s bag.

She told her father that he found a bag and her father looked at it and confirm it is belongs to sam.

So, in a rush, he took the bag to his owner and gave him his missing bag.

He gave it to his master and told him to check the bag was everything was there or not? Sam wanted to play a game as he was a greedy person.

He shouted at his work and said, there were 75 coins and but he got just 60 coins. where are the other coins? You have stolen other coins.

The worker was astonished to hear this and pleaded his innocence.

Greedy sam refuse the story of the work and decided to take this matter to the court.

The judge heard all in detail from both sides. He questioned works daughter and her father about how many coins they have found in the bag but they gave the same answer every time.

Again, the judge asked sam how many coins were there on the bag and sam told him that there were 75 coins and now it has 60 coins. It is obvious other 15 coins were stolen by them.

They judged him again, “ are you sure your bag had 75 coins?”

Sam nodded vigorously

So, the judge made his decision.

“ Since sam lost a big of 75 coins but the bag found the daughter was a bag of 60 coins so it is clear that it was not the sam’s and it didn’t belong to him.

If anyone found a bag with 75 coins, I will declare that it belongs to sam.

So, now there was no complaint regarding a bag of 60 coins, I order the father and daughter to take those 60 coins in appreciation of their honesty!”

Moral of the Story: Honesty always wins though it takes some time to prove. However, Greedy people always be punished soon after or later.
