Money from water, back to on the water

Once there was a dairy man. He would milk his cows every day and sell the milk in his village. He lived very peaceful and happy life. He was well-knowing for supplying fresh milk, even in the nearby villages.

One day he became greedy. He thought to himself “How long will I have to stay poor like this? let me mix some water into my milk. This way I can earn more money!”.

According to his plan he mixed water in his milk and sold it to the villagers. To his surprise his sales had increased. He was jumping with joy!  Money was rolling in like no one could imagine.

One day he took his bag full of money and went skipping on home. It was the summer and the heat unbearable. As he was  passing by a lake he decided to stop and rest under a nearby tree, catching a cool breeze within a few minutes he was sound sleep.

There was a monkey who live on that tree. The monkey hadn’t eaten since morning and he was extremely hungry, He saw that the  dairyman had a big bag with him. The monkey thought ”there must some food in that bag,”

He grabbed the bag and opened it up. To his surprise he saw hundreds of brand new shiny coins. The monkey snatched the bag and climbed the tree, The monkey did not value the money. He started tossing the coins to the lake, He would throw it at the birds in the nearby tree. He was enjoying himself by throwing away the money. when he went to throw the last coin it fell on dairyman’s head, immediately he woke up.

He look up and saw the monkey with empty bag in his hand, He looked around and saw a bunch of coins lying in the grass around the tree, The monkey had had his fun and then ran off into the woods.

The dairyman started crying. Sobbing he collected as many coins as he could find. He counted the money and realized that the money he earned, from the water which he mixed in the milk, was in the lake

And the money he earned from the actual milk portion, was all the remained in his hand.

Moral : Sooner or later everyone must bear the fruits of their dishonesty.
