Parcel

Once upon a time... there lived an old couple in a small town,

who had good neighbors and they never frowned!

One day they received a huge parcel,

see what could they make out of it, maybe a castle. 

They wondered and wondered thinking what could it be?

They finally decided to open it and see.

The giant parcel had no luxurious thing, but a seed

a small thing they didn't need.

All their dreams shattered and the got upset too,

they had no idea to what to do?

They simply planted it and saw it grow day by day,

it beard the first fruit, and oh! what shall I say?

The old man cut the first fruit and oh sucks!

it had a pile of gold coins which worth a million bucks!

They took all the gold coins to the market to buy the best things,

comfy couch, rich robes and diamond rings.

The next day, it happened the same,

Daily gold coins- there, the wealth came.

It happened every day, and what else it could be?

Their friends went away as they were filled with  jealousy!

As day after day passed, the couple soon forgot to water the tree,

soon it happened that its fruits were full of dust, all the way!

Their money decreased and the problems increased.

Soon with grief, they had to sell all their best things,

all those rich robes, comfy couch and diamond rings.

The were guilty and very sad,

for money became the thing, which they once had.

They still threw a small party, once again,

for the friendship they may gain.

They got happiness once again

and it needed no money 'rains'.

So, all the readers must learn, 

that true happiness lies in one's beliefs and relations,

Remember, life takes many turns...
