Abdullah's Unquenchable Greed ( Little Big Summery )

Abdullah's Unquenchable Greed

Abdullah was a leading merchant in Arabia. He seemed to have a Midas touch !

Whatever business he did, it flourished ! He owned forty camels . He would lay loads of goods on their back and go to far off places to sell tbem

The forty camels of  his marching in a single file was a delightful sight. Through he had immense wealth,  he  longed for more .

One day,  he proceeded to the next town. On the way, he proceeded to the next town. On the way,  he checked at an inn for the night. There he met a God man . And they became good friends . While talking with him, Abdullah told him his passion for money.

" I am rich. I have enough wealth to last for the next four generations . Yet I work hard , because I want to be the richest man in the world! " No sooner he said that, the God man replied, "There is a way to became richer, quickly. Let me show you a treasure with which, you can buy the .whole world!"

"Once a king came to know that the neighbouring country was planning .to invade his country. So , he had buried all his wealth over there . But the poor king was killed in the battle. Hence,  nobody knew about the treasure!  Now it is no man's money. So we can take it," said the God man.

It interested Abdullah. " Please show me , where is it ," he asked . The God man took Abdulla to a lonely spot. " Here is it ," he indicated  one corner . There he found a brush and the God man took a powder from his bag . And the God man sprayed the powder in the ground there .

A white smoke drifted from the spot after  it was sweep away by the wind , There appeared a cave like  big trench!  " There  was full of gold,diamond,jewels,silver articles and lots of very precious gems and very precious things. They grabbed everything and it came 40 sacks and the God man asked for 20 sacks. He asked why , the God man told it is not for myself it is for building a Vedic school and a orphanage.  He asked why so much why not take 10 sacks that will be enough for you, won't it?"
               He bargained. The God man agreed

When it was time to go , Abdullah's greed had a sway over him. So he asked the God man , can you please give the 10 sacks and that powder too,
And the God man agreed and told" Mind you Abdullah the powder is very dangerous if you rub in the left eye everything you see will turn gold , if you rub In right eye you will become blind . And Abdullah said ok after they both go Abdullah uses and he mistakenly rubs in the right eye and became blind. So the moral is " Earth provides enough satisfy of every man,needs , but not every man's greed this quote was by Mahatma Gandhi
