Once upon a time, in a thick forest, there lived a greedy wolf. He was always hungry and would never be satisfied with what he had. No matter how much food he ate, he always wanted more.
One day, the wolf was wandering through the forest when he came across a sheep that had wandered away from its flock. The wolf's mouth watered at the sight of the sheep and he thought to himself, "What a feast this will be! But why stop at one sheep when I can have more?"
Instead of eating the sheep right away, the greedy wolf decided to lead it back to the flock so he could capture and eat all of them. With a sly grin, the wolf herded the sheep back toward the meadow where the flock was grazing.
As they were walking, the wolf came across a plump rabbit hopping by. He thought to himself, "Why wait for the sheep when I can catch this rabbit and eat it now? It’s an easy snack!"
But just as he was about to pounce on the rabbit, he spotted a deer grazing not too far away. The wolf's eyes gleamed with greed. "Forget the rabbit! The deer is much bigger and will make a better meal," he thought.
Leaving the rabbit behind, the wolf crouched and prepared to attack the deer. However, at that moment, the deer heard a rustling noise and bolted into the woods. The wolf, frustrated at missing his chance, growled and looked back to see the rabbit hopping away and the sheep wandering off as well.
In his greed to have more, the wolf ended up with nothing. He had lost the deer, the rabbit and even the sheep. Now, he was hungrier than ever, but there was no food in sight.
The wolf realized too late that if he hadn't been so greedy and had eaten the sheep when he first had the chance, he wouldn't be starving now. His desire for more had left him with nothing at all.
Moral of the story: "Greed often leads to loss." If we become too greedy and always want more, we may end up losing everything we already have. It's important to appreciate what we have and not let greed control us.
