Once upon a time, there lived a kind boy named Timmy in a small village. Timmy loved to explore the vast green forests surrounding his home. One sunny afternoon, while wandering deeper than usual, Timmy discovered an ancient glowing pot hidden among the ferns.
Curious, he touched the pot, and to his surprise, it spoke! “Timmy,” said the pot in a soft voice, “I’m a magic pot. Anything you put in me will be doubled by morning.”
Excited, Timmy carried the pot home. That night, he placed an apple inside. The next morning, there were two apples in the pot! Amazed by the magic, Timmy began to think of all the good things he could do.
He started doubling food and distributing it to the villagers, who were grateful and happy. But as word spread, a greedy man from a neighboring village heard about the magic pot. One night, he snuck into Timmy’s house and stole the pot, dreaming of endless riches.
The greedy man was overjoyed and filled the pot with gold. However, by morning, his house was overflowing with gold coins, attracting the attention of robbers. In the chaos, the magic pot disappeared and was never seen again.
Timmy was saddened by the loss but learned that some things are too precious to boast about. He continued helping others, remembering how much happiness the magic pot had brought to his village, even if only for a brief moment.
Moral of the story: Use your gifts to help others, not for greed, because true happiness comes from giving, not getting.
