Gold in the Wood Box

Once upon a time, in the eastern of middle east, lived a poor woodcutter, his name was Syahdan. He lived with his wife in a simple hut in a village near the forest. One night he was praying to his God

When will I be free from this poverty ? Oh my God, please give me treasures of my hard work I've been! I don't want treasures that don't belong to me, so give me treasures from my kitchen.

Next day, Syahdan went to the forest and he saw the wood box. What's that ? He was wondering. Wood box ? Then, he had an idea. I'll open the box ! Suddenly he jumped surprisingly. WOW many golden coins ! I'll be rich ! But, Syahdan remembered about one thing. This treasures not belong to me. So, I'll not take this treasures and I'll return it back.

After that Syahdan went home and told to his wife. And the wife was angry because of her husband fools. Now we are living in a poverty. And when you find a treasure you leave it? Why Syahdan? Why? You are stupid Syahdan !

Still angry with her husband fools, Syahdan's wife went to her neighbor, Syudi and told all about this.

Syudi, My husband has found many golden coins in a wood box in the forest. But, he left it because he felt that the treasures don't belong to him. Syudi, go! Take the gold for you and give me a half.

Syudi agreed and went to the forest to look for the wood box. He thought to keep the gold for himself. So, he was searcing it everywhere. Where's the wood box? Oooo… over there ! hahhahahaha I'll be rich ! Do you want to see the inside of the box? I'll open the box. When Syudi opened the box, he was screaming out loud. AAAAAAAA! Snake! Syudi was so surprised to find a snake in the box. Mrs Syahdan has lied to me! Beware you!

Syudi brought the wood box to Syahdan's house. In the middle of the night Syudi climbed to the house and dropped the wood box through the chimney. Take my revenge Mrs. Syahdan! Hahahahahahaha!

In the morning, Syahdan went to the kitchen and saw the wood box. What's that ? Wood box? This box is like the wood box when I found in the forest. I'll open the box! WOW gold. I'm rich! Syahdan was very happy and he thanked to the God. Thank you my God. Now I'll take this gold. Because I'm sure this is mine. As my wish, this gold were found in my kitchen.

And then Syahdan and his wife live happily ever after.

THE END

The moral value of the story is: Don't be greedy!
