In a cozy village lived Ram, Ben, and Sam who were the best of friends. Their bond was often said to be as strong as their favourite sturdy oak tree that stood tall in the middle of the village. Ram was well known for his friendly nature. He always knew the right thing to relieve anybody from disappointment. Ben was known to have a heart as vast as the endless sky but Sam was slightly greedy at times drawing a bad impression towards him. Despite these differences, they shared countless memories together. One day as Sam was sitting under the tree alone submerged in his mind, a sudden rush of thoughts hit him. The greed stormed in him. Sam persuaded the rest 2 to come along on a search for treasure in a forbidden forest as they have been hearing from their ancestors. With loads of trust, they set out on the journey. Deep in the woods, they discovered a chest of treasure. Sam, blinded with greed took the chest and made a run leaving Ram and Ben behind. Sam had totally ignored the mighty danger standing right behind his friends. Yes, there was a giant beast all set to feast. Though the friends fought bravely and managed to escape, they were heartbroken about Sam. They also came to know that Sam escaped with treasure only to realize that it was worthless and fake. Regretful, Sam learned too late the true cost of greed. Ram and Ben brought many changes to their life after this. Thanks to this incident, they never developed close attachments with anyone even if it were the closest of friends and the strongest of bonds.
MORAL : Friendship is priceless but greed can shatter even the strongest of bonds.
